A Chattooga County resident who worked at Berry College’s Memorial Library was killed in a wreck Friday night, according to Chattooga County Coroner Earle Rainwater

Jessica Yates, 29, was killed in a three-vehicle wreck that occurred around 5:30 p.m. in Chattooga County, Rainwater said. She was pronounced dead at Redmond Regional Medical Center.

According to Georgia State Patrol Sgt. Shan Burnette:

Yates was driving a 2003 Kia Rio on U.S. 27 when she stopped behind a 99 Ford Contour. A third car, a Honda Pilot driven by Hannah Millican of Summerville, came up behind Yates and pushed her Kia into the Ford.

Burnette said Yates was conscious at the scene, but became unresponsive on the way to the hospital.

The GSP is still investigating the wreck. Neither of the other two drivers required hospitalization.
