Two women were killed Tuesday morning in a head-on collision on a Forsyth County road that authorities said also injured two others, including a 14-year-old.
The wreck happened about 8:25 a.m. at the intersection of Bannister and Mockingbird roads after a 2003 Honda Accord, driven by 36-year-old Jessica James of Dawsonville, crossed into oncoming traffic and struck a 2013 Hyundai Elantra, Forsyth Sheriff’s Office spokeswoman Stacie Miller said.
James died at the scene. A passenger in the Hyundai, 38-year-old Sarah Decoteau of Dawsonville, was taken to a hospital, where she later died. Both victims were not wearing seatbelts, Miller said.
The teenage passenger in the Honda and the driver of the Hyundai were taken to hospitals with non-life-threatening injuries, Miller said. Authorities said the two injured were wearing their seatbelts.
The sheriff’s office is trying to determine why the Honda crossed into oncoming traffic.
