A local woman apparently died

behind the wheel of her car at home recently, according to police.

Wilma Johnson Estes, 82, of Fayetteville, had crashed the car into a tree

near the driveway of her home on Antioch Road, said Lt. Bryan Woodie of

the Fayette County Sheriff's Department. Estes was found by a family member

who came to her home to visit Sunday afternoon, but the crash likely occurred

before then, he added.

No foul play is suspected, Woodie said, but Georgia law requires an autopsy

to be performed because the death was unattended by a coroner, he added.

The autopsy should reveal if her death was caused by a medical condition,

Woodie said.

Estes was not wearing a seat belt at the time of the accident, according

to police.
