Sandy Creek High School remains in intensive care

after being seriously injured in a Thursday

afternoon auto accident.

The

wreck took place at about 4:20 p.m. on Sandy

Creek Road at Sams Drive, according to Maj. Wayne

Hannah of the Fayette County Sheriff's

Department.

Kimberly

Ann Alberts, 17, of Fayetteville, was driving a

1991 Honda Civic when she attempted to make a

left turn off Sams Drive onto Sandy Creek Road.

She pulled out in front of a 1998 Ford F-150

pickup going north on Sandy Creek Road, Hannah

said.

The

driver of the truck, 18-year-old John Frampton

Rutledge of Fayetteville, was not injured. The

majority of the impact involved the front of the

pickup and the driver's door of the car,

according to Hannah.

Alberts,

who was wearing her seatbelt, sustained severe

head injuries and was flown by Phoenix Aircare to

Atlanta Medical Center. She was still in the

intensive care unit as of Monday afternoon.

The

investigation is ongoing.
