Gov. Nathan Deal has ordered flags flown at half-staff Thursday in honor of four University of Georgia students killed in a two- car crash the night before.
The governor tweeted that “Today, we are all Bulldogs. #prayforUGA”.
Kayla Canedo, 19, of Alpharetta; Brittany Feldman, 20, of Alpharetta; Christina Semeria, 19, of Milton; and Halle Scott, 19, of Dunwoody all died. The driver of the Camry, Agnes Kim, 21, of Snellville, was in critical condition late Thursday morning. The driver of the Cobalt, Abby Short, 27, of Demorest, was also injured and in the hospital.
The Georgia State Patrol believes the five women were traveling northbound on Ga. 15, toward the UGA campus, when the white Toyota Camry crossed the center line. A southbound Chevrolet Cobalt hit the side of the Toyota on the two-lane road in Watkinsville shortly before 9 p.m.
At about the same time, the governor also asked for prayers for Kim “and her family, as she fights for life”.
Kaitlin Fleming also turned to Twitter, asking the governor to also pray for Short. “please also pray for the victim, Abby, in the other vehicle as well. #prayingforthemALL.”
