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.
