Rescuers Talk About Forsyth Creek Crash

FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. (MyFOX ATLANTA) - The emergency workers who helped rescue a woman whose car ran off the road and overturned in a Forsyth County creek spoke out Friday. Two Forsyth County deputies were praised for their help in the incident.

The woman was rescued after her car plunged into a creek on Keith Bridge Road and Cantrell Circle in Forsyth County Tuesday.

Forsyth Fire and Rescue spokesman Capt. Jason Shivers said the accident happened around 4:00 p.m., when the car went into Forsyth Creek.

The unidentified woman was taken to a local hospital in critical condition due to injuries sustained in the crash and signs of hypothermia.

Capt. Shivers said rescue workers struggled to get to the woman because she was trapped under the car’s dashboard.
