Just this weekend on April 29th, a Norcross teen was killed in an auto accident on her way to an after-prom party with friends. Sixteen year old Johlanda Lindsey was in a car with three classmates early Sunday morning when another vehicle struck them after crossing the center line. The others in the car with Johlanda were injured, one critically. Two were ejected from the vehicle during the crash. The male teen that was operating the oncoming vehicle was a classmate and track teammate of Lindsey\u2019s. Police officers do not believe that alcohol was involved in the accident, but speed may have been. Charges are pending against the male driver that caused the accident.<\/p>\n<h2>Marietta Car Wreck Injury Lawyers<\/h2>\n<p>There are numerous dangerous hazards when driving in the metro Atlanta area.
