Officials still haven't determined whether to file more charges against a motorist for an auto crash that may have led to the death of a Tyrone woman.

Police learned last week that Mary Ruth Prince died due to medical complications. It is not clear if her death is a result of the Nov. 23 collision on Ga. Highway 74 north at the entrance to the Ardenlee subdivision.

Prince's vehicle struck another auto that had pulled into her path trying to make a turn while she was traveling south on Hwy. 74, according to police.

Maj. Mike DuPree of the Peachtree City Police Department said the situation is being discussed with representatives of the Fayette County District Attorney's office. The department is awaiting more information from the medical examiner also, DuPree said.

DuPree declined to name the other driver in the crash, saying the department hasn't decided whether or not to file further charges.
