18 year old Cesalie E. Henson, a senior at Armuchee High was killed Tuesday afternoon when she apparently pulled in front of a pick up truck while leaving the Armuchee High campus.   The accident occurred around 4:00 at the main entrance to the high school. Henson’s vehicle was struck by a southbound pick up on US 27, crushing the drivers side of the teen’s vehicle.

Supt. Dr. Lynn Plunkett said that grief counselors would be available to students at the high school today. The accident will undoubtedly dampen the Homecoming week festivities at Armuchee this weekend. Cpl. Greg Beck with the Floyd County police indicated that charges probably would not be filed against the truck driver based on the early results of the investigation.
