The 2010 Hyundai Genesis Coupe left the roadway and began rotating counterclockwise, agency reports said. The rear end eventually struck a tree shortly before the car came to a stop.
Hall and Janell Lamar, 15, received initial treatment from paramedics at the scene and were taken by ambulance to Colquitt Regional Medical Center, the reports said.
Hall was not admitted to the hospital, a spokeswoman there said, and Lamar was transferred to another facility. She did not know to which hospital Lamar was taken.
A second passenger, Journey Lamar, 6, was not injured, according to the GSP.
Hall told the trooper that the headlights of a car she met blinded her, causing the accident.
She was cited for failure to maintain lane and child safety restraint violation.
