Four youths

were injured late Saturday night when their car ran off Northlake Drive

and struck a tree head-on, according to reports from the Peachtree City

Fire Department.

The Honda Civic

"was totally destroyed," said Peachtree City Fire Chief Stony

Lohr.

Andrew Cyrus

had multi-system trauma and was flown by Life Net helicopter to Grady

Memorial Hospital, Lohr said. He was later transferred to Southern Regional

Medical Center although a family member requested his condition not be

released Thursday morning. The other victims, Jonathan Spencer, Nicholas

Yebba and James Strausbaugh were taken to Southern Regional, where they

were later released.

All four victims

were outside of the vehicle when paramedics arrived, Lohr said. A police

report on the accident was not available by press time Thursday afternoon.

"I think

they were very lucky," Lohr said.

The accident

occurred on Northlake Drive across from one of the rear entrances to the

Aberdeen shopping center, Lohr noted.
