mother and three children were injured after a

one-car accident Sunday night west of

Fayetteville.

According

to Capt. Pete Nelms of the Fayette County

Department of Fire and Emergency Services, a

Honda Accord driven by a 35-year-old woman struck

a tree at 256 Sams Drive, near Sandy Creek Road,

shortly after 8 p.m.

The

woman was trapped in the vehicle after the

accident, and emergency personnel required about

40 minutes to remove her due to the damage the

tree caused to the car, Nelms said.

The

driver, Sherri Perry of Tyrone, was flown by

helicopter to Atlanta Medical Center and was

listed in good condition Monday, a hospital

spokesman said.

One

child was found outside the car when officers

arrived, according to a spokesman for the Fayette

County Sheriff's Department, but it is not known

whether he was thrown from the vehicle. He was

flown by helicopter to Egleston, Nelms said.

The

two other children were transported by county

personnel to Southern Regional Medical Center in

Clayton County.
