An Armuchee woman died Tuesday from injuries she sustained in a three-vehicle accident on Rome's new bypass near Grizzard Park, closing traffic in the westbound lanes just after 3 p.m. Brooke Michelle Anthony, of a Turkey Mountain Armuchee address, was pronounced dead at Floyd Medical Center at about 5:30 p.m. She died of multiple, massive traumas and her body is being taken to the state crime lab for an autopsy. Two other drivers were also critically injured, according to police. The driver of a red Ford Explorer was heading West on the bypass in the outside lane while Anthony, in a green Kia Soul, was next to her in the inside lane. It was then that the driver of a white GMC cargo van crossed the median into oncoming traffic. The GMC van reportedly launched into the air and landed on top of the Kia and while the van was still midair, the Explorer drove up under the van. The van then landed upside down in the ditch and the Kia on it's driver's side, with the Explorer still upright facing the ditch. The woman in the Explorer had a four-year-old in the car, but the child made it out unscathed.
