Atlanta Car Wreck Claims the Life of Mother and Two Daughters in Union City

Two young children, Keyonna Greer (age 5) and her twelve-year-old sister Cherokee Greer, and their mother Tanya Greer  were killed Saturday, August 30, in Union City, GA.  Their teenage sister Marie Greer was also seriously injured, according to Marcus K. Garner, a staff writer with the AJC.  Union City police spokesman George Louth stated that  "A Chevrolet Tahoe going east on South Fulton Parkway hit a Chevrolet Lumina turning into the oncoming traffic from Mason Road." Mr. Louth, who has been with the Union City police for many years, was quoted as saying that  “This is the worst car fatality that he can remember."  Two children in the Lumina were dead on the scene, and a thirty-six-year-old woman and a sixteen year old girl in the Lumina were airlifted to Atlanta Medical Center. The woman later passed away while in the emergency room, Louth said. The teenager remained in serious condition as of Sunday morning, and the driver of the Tahoe was taken by ambulance to South Fulton Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.  Commenting on the roadway, Mr. Louth pointed out that “There’s not a blind spot,” but he added that “it is difficult to see for drivers crossing South Fulton’s westbound lane to turn left into eastbound traffic flow from Mason Road."  The police spokesman said that city and DOT officials have considered installing a traffic light at the busy intersection. As of Sunday morning, police were continuing to investigate this tragic incident.
