A Fayette

County man is dead after a two-car collision during the

Thursday morning rush hour.

According

to the Fayette County Sheriff's Department, Charles

Aubrey Rivers, 53, of Fayetteville was driving a 1980

Ford Courier pickup truck southbound on Ga. Highway 92

near the intersection of Lowery Road at about 7:45 a.m.

when his vehicle hit a 1989 Chevrolet Corsica driven by

Cathy Jones Selman, 47, also of Fayetteville.

Selman

apparently made a left turn off of Lowery Road and pulled

into the path of the pickup, according to the Sheriff's

Department report.

Rivers

suffered severe head and chest injuries in the crash. He

was later pronounced dead at Fayette Community Hospital.

Selman

suffered serious injuries to her lower extremities and

was flown to Atlanta Medical Center by a Phoenix Aircare

helicopter.

A passenger

in the Corsica, 30-year-old Greg Selman of Fayetteville,

was taken to Fayette Community Hospital complaining of

pain. He was the only one of the three who was wearing a

seatbelt.

Alcohol is

not suspected in the crash, but blood samples will be

sent to the state crime lab for analysis, as is standard

procedure in fatality wrecks. Charges are pending.

Highway 92

had to be closed for about two hours while the accident

was investigated.

This is the

fifth traffic fatality in unincorporated Fayette County

in 1999.
