DeKalb Teen Killed in Wreck

A 14 year old Stone Mountain High School student was killed in a car wreck in DeKalb County near Atlanta on Wednesday.  Three students were walking along Central Avenue when a 17 year old driver lost control of his vehicle and drove onto the sidewalk, striking the three students.  Tanesha Williams died later at Grady Memorial Hospital in Atlanta from injuries she sustained.  A witness claimed the car was involved in a collision with another vehicle before running up on the sidewalk.  As DeKalb County police continue to investigate, it is likely that one or both drivers will be found liable for the injuries caused to the two teenagers and the death of Ms. Williams.  Family members will likely consult an Atlanta area personal injury attorney or lawyer for information.  If you or a family member has been injured by the negligence of another, please contact our office 24 hours a day at (888) 973-25400 (888-WRECK-404) for a free initial consultation.
