A Roswell woman was hospitalized Saturday afternoon after her car crashed near Lassiter High School. 
Officer Neil Penirelli, public information officer for Cobb Police, said Cynthia Downing, 71, was driving her white 2007 Toyota Corolla eastbound on Shallowford Road around 5:05 p.m. Saturday when she lost control of her car, which ventured into the center median and hit two trees.
He said that a passerby started CPR on Downing after noticing she was unresponsive, and police think she may have had a medical emergency. Downing was taken to WellStar Kennestone Hospital and was being treated there, Penirelli said.
The accident is still being investigated. Anyone with information should call the Cobb County Police Department at 770-499-3987.
