Two Fayette

youths remained in critical condition Tuesday morning at Grady Memorial

Hospital after an automobile wreck late Friday evening on Ebenezer Church

Road.

Justin Holloway

and William McCoy, both 17, were flown to Grady by medical helicopters

at the crash scene, according to information provided by the Fayette County

Sheriff's Department.

According to

the accident report filed by the department, Holloway was driving a 2001

Ford Ranger east on Ebenezer Church Road when his vehicle slid into the

westbound lane and struck a 1999 Nissan Maxima head-on. The collision

occurred after Holloway's vehicle initially left the road and he attempted

to re-enter the road, according to Lt. Bryan Woodie of the Fayette County

Sheriff's Department.

During the

collision, Holloway was ejected from the vehicle. It is not known whether

he was wearing his seat belt, but deputies have determined that McCoy

was restrained.

All five occupants

of the Maxima, including the driver, were treated and later released from

Southern Regional Medical Center. All but one of the passengers were wearing

their seat belts when the collision occurred, according to reports.

The investigation

into the wreck is continuing, according to Woodie. As with all serious

automobile crashes, a blood sample from both drivers was obtained and

will be submitted to the Georgia State Crime Lab for analysis to determine

if either of the drivers was under the influence of alcohol or drugs during

the crash.
