Woman dies in Colquitt County crash

MOULTRIE, Ga. — Authorities are not releasing the identity of a woman killed in a car crash Wednesday morning as they seek more information from her family.

The Hispanic woman was driving a silver Toyota Camry that apparently pulled from a stop sign on R.L. Sears Road into the path of a Ford Explorer coming into town on Cool Springs Road just before 8 a.m., according to the Georgia State Patrol.

Two Hispanic women who were passengers in the Camry were taken to Archbold Memorial Hospital in Thomasville, the GSP said. They did not have identification on them, the trooper said, and they don’t speak English, so their identities haven’t been determined. Without their names, information on their conditions is not available from the hospital, but the trooper said at least one of them is in serious condition.

The driver of the Explorer, Lee Ann Chafin of Moultrie, and her two young children suffered minor injuries, the GSP said.

The trooper said Chafin told him she had no time to react when the Camry pulled in front of her; she didn’t hit her brakes at all and struck the Camry on the driver’s side door, he said.
