HENRY COUNTY, Ga. — A young teen was killed in a wrong-way crash Sunday morning in Henry County, police said.
It happened on Highway 19/41 just north of Circle Drive in Hampton.
Police said the crash involved three vehicles --two of which were going the right way. Authorities said a White Ford F-150 was traveling northbound in the southbound lanes and collided with a red Mitsubishi Galant and a black Chevy Surburban.
All three drivers as well as three passengers were taken to local hospitals. Police said 12-year-old Jacie Webb of Griffin, Georgia, who was sitting in the second row of the Suburban, died as a result of her injuries.
