A Mt. Airy teenager is lucky to be alive after a serious accident Sunday on Demorest-Mt. Airy Highway. The Georgia State Patrol says 19-year-old Adriana Elizabeth Woodall was injured when the 2003 Lincoln Aviator she was driving ran off the road, overturned and struck a tree.
The accident happened around 9:25 p.m.
The State Patrol report says Woodall was traveling north on Demorest-Mt. Airy Highway near Lick Log Lane when she ran off the road in a curve, over steered, and lost control.
Good Samaritan
Alexander Irvin of White County drove up on the wreck shortly after it happened.
“When I pulled up, the car was upside down,” he tells Now Habersham. “One of the guys that pulled up before I did had the back door already pried open. I crawled through, seen her hand was bleeding, got her age, got her name, and just made sure she was alright.”
Emergency responders had to use the jaws of life to free Woodall from the wreckage. She was transported by ambulance to Northeast Georgia Medical Center in Gainesville with non-incapacitating injuries, according to the Georgia State Patrol (GSP).
Habersham County Sheriff’s deputies, State Troopers, and Demorest Fire personnel responded to the scene along with GSP. No charges were filed in the accident.
This was the second of two wrecks involving overturned vehicles Sunday night in Habersham County. A Cornelia police officer and Baldwin woman were injured in an earlier accident Sunday on US 441 at J Warren Road in Cornelia.
