A Rosedale, Gilmer County, woman was killed on impact after she lost
control of her
auto in a turn, according to Braxton Deputy Ron Clay. The accident
occurred near the
village of Rosedale on Monday.
Thirty-year-old Charline Hurst was "traveling 50-55 miles an hour in a
35-mile zone,"
stated Clay after interviewing eyewitnesses. "She was not wearing a
seat belt," he
said.
Hurst, who was driving a 1987 Olds, slid on the wet highway and
crashed into a 1996
Blazer driven by 39-year-old Gassaway resident, Lisa Michelle
Cottrill. Cottrill, who
was wearing a seat belt, was treated at a Gassaway hospital.
"It was a massive head-on crash with speed as a factor," said Deputy
Clay.
