(From the Floyd County Police Department):
One driver is dead following a crash on U.S. 27 at Rhinehart Equipment company on Wednesday. Police are looking for a Lincoln Town Car that stopped but left the scene.
The crash occurred just before 2 p.m. on Martha Berry Highway near Selman Road. A southbound Nissan Altima was struck by the Town Car, causing the Altima to careen into a Toyota 4-Runner that was traveling north.
The Nissan Altima was being driven by Hilda Santizo-Perez (age 37) of Rome. She died as a result of injuries sustained in the crash. A 3-year-old child was also in the vehicle but was removed by a passerby attempting to render aid.
The other vehicle was occupied by Charcia Baldwin (age 34) of Rydal, Ga.
Baldwin and the toddler were transported to Atrium Health Floyd for evaluation.
This investigation is still ongoing. FCPD is requesting video from anyone who was driving in the area who might have dash cam video.
