Two

Peachtree City teenagers were seriously injured last week

after a late-night one-car accident near Waterwood Bend

and Brookwood Path.

According

to police reports, officers responding to the scene

shortly after midnight on Nov. 5 found a 1992 Acura

Legend resting in the front yard of a residence on

Waterwood Bend. The car sustained serious damage on the

passenger side, with "the entire right side of the

vehicle torn away from the main body of the car,"

the report stated.

Paramedics

said that the passenger in the car, 17-year-old Daniel

Coulter, was transported by helicopter to Atlanta Medical

Center with severe injuries to the entire right side of

his body. The driver of the car, Matthew Clements, also

17, was taken by ambulance to Fayette Community Hospital.

An initial

investigation at the scene indicated that the car was

traveling at a high rate of speed and attempted to

negotiate the curve along Waterwood Bend near Postwood

Turn, the police report stated.

As is

standard procedure with serious injury accidents, blood

and urine samples obtained from the driver were sent to

the state crime lab. Charges are pending.
