Three people were involved in a pickup truck crash Tuesday afternoon on Barnes Mill Road.
According to the Tennessee Highway Patrol, 75-year-old Ruth Louise Stainbrook was traveling south on Barnes Mill Road south from Joe Turner Road in a 2009 Dodge pickup truck attempting to negotiate a left curve when the truck went off the roadside to the right and struck a standing tree before coming to a final rest.
Two passengers, 51-year-old Wendy Connors and 32-year-old Talisha Lykins were not injured. All three were wearing their seatbelts. No charges were filed.
Stainbrook was reportedly transported by DeKalb EMS to a nearby landing zone and airlifted by helicopter ambulance.
