Head-on crash sends 2 to hospital in Cobb County

Two women were transported to the hospital Sunday following a head-on collision reported in Austell.

Cobb police were dispatched to the scene of the crash at 5:34 p.m. on Veterans Memorial Highway near Davis Drive.

Cobb traffic investigators say a black 2007 Dodge Caliber was traveling eastbound on Veterans Memorial Highway when it veered into the center turn lane and hit a gray 2011 Chevrolet Malibu, which was traveling westbound on the roadway.

Carmen E. Pettiford, 18, the driver of the Chevrolet, was transported to WellStar Cobb Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. The driver of the Dodge, identified as Decatur resident Ginger R. Jones, 36, was taken to Grady Memorial Hospital. She also had injuries that don’t appear to be life threatening, Cobb police say.

The crash remains under investigation, and anyone with information is asked to call Cobb police at 770-499-3987.
