A teenage girl was killed and another suffered serious injuries Sunday night in a two-car crash on Jamerson Road, according to Cobb Police.
Officer Sydney Melton, a police spokeswoman, said Kayleigh S. Neste, 17, of Kennesaw, was pronounced dead after being taken to WellStar Kennestone Hospital.
Neste was a student at Kell High School.
A 16-year-old girl, who was not identified, also was taken to Kennestone, with serious injuries that were not specified, Melton said.
Police said the crash happened at 7:14 p.m. Sunday on Jamerson Road at Navilly Way, near Kell High School. A westbound-traveling white 2008 Nissan 350Z driven by Neste lost control and collided with a white 2012 Kia Forte, heading east and driven by the 16-year old.
Neste’s car caught fire after the crash, and Melton said bystanders helped her out of the car and also pulled the Kia away from the Nissan before it could catch fire.
The 16-year-old girl was trapped inside the Kia until fire and rescue crews could free her, Melton said.
Melton said the crash remains under investigation and anyone with information should call Cobb Police at 770-499-3987.
