An 81-year-old woman was critically injured when the vehicle she was riding in landed upside down in a Mountain City creek.

Olivia Jackson Stevens was a passenger in a Jeep Wrangler Sport driven by 82-year-old Bobby Ray Stevens. The Dublin, Georgia, couple was traveling east at 1870 U.S. 441/GA 15 when the Jeep’s right front tire ran off the edge of the driveway. The vehicle overturned onto its top in Stekoa Creek.

The October 8 accident injured both of them. EMS transported Olivia Stevens to the hospital in critical condition. Bobby Stevens was treated and released, according to the report from Georgia State Patrol Post 7 in Toccoa.

The state patrol says charges are pending.
