One of the

victims in a two-car crash on Ebenezer Church Road Friday, Dec. 14 has

died.

William McCoy,

17, died Wednesday at Egleston Children's Hospital from injuries sustained

in the collision, according to officials. He was the passenger in a 2001

Ford Ranger driven by Justin Holloway when it struck another vehicle head-on.

Holloway was

ejected from the vehicle. He remained in critical condition Friday, Dec.

21.

According to

the accident report filed by the department, Holloway was driving east

on Ebenezer Church Road when his truck 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.

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 seatbelts when the collision occurred, according to reports.

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.
