A 17-year-old Madison County High School junior was killed in a one-car accident early Monday morning.
Crystal Yamasato, Hull, died after her 1996 Nissan Altima ran off the road on Hwy. 106 South at JJ&G Drive about 4:07 a.m. According to the Georgia State Patrol, it appears she fell asleep at the wheel.
Yamasato was traveling southbound when her car ran off the road, veered across the northbound lane and then went down an embankment, then reentered the roadway and overturned, partially ejecting her.
According to the report, Yamasato was traveling alone and was not wearing a seatbelt.
