3 injured in crash with sheriff's vehicle, including sheriff's wifeWed, 01/27/2010 - 4:40pm

Three people were injured early this afternoon when a sheriff's patrol vehicle collided with another car just south of Fayetteville as it was responding to a burglar alarm call, according to officials with the Fayette County Sheriff’s Office. None of the injuries were believed to be life-threatening but all three people in the crash were taken for treatment at area hospitals, sheriff’s officials said. The crash occurred just before 1:30 p.m. as Capt. Deborah Hannah, the wife of Sheriff Wayne Hannah, was traveling east on South Jeff Davis Drive with the emergency lights and sirens activated on her marked patrol vehicle, a 2009 Ford Explorer, officials said. As Hannah approached Helen Sams Parkway, a 1994 Pontiac Sunfire turned left onto South Jeff Davis drive and into the path of the patrol vehicle immediately before the collision, officials said. Capt. Hannah was unable to avoid the Sunfire, officials said. The Sunfire driver was identified as Danielle Mask, 29, of Fayetteville, who also had her 4-year-old daughter in a booster seat, officials said. Mask was taken to Atlanta Medical Center and her daughter was taken to Scottish Rite Children’s Medical Center; Hannah was transported to Piedmont Fayette Hospital. Sheriff’s Maj. Bryan Woodie said that although Capt. Hannah is in charge of youth services for the department, it is not uncommon for her to respond to active service calls. The accident will be investigated by the Georgia State Patrol per the sheriff’s office policy because it involved a sheriff’s vehicle, officials said. login to post comments |
