(WRDW) -- Three family members spanning four generations killed simply trying to make it home from church. I mean I am devastated. I would like to take a nap and wake up and it all be a dream, said relative Brittany Schultz.Just hours ago Brittany Schultz hurried to a crash on Gayshill Church Rd. only to find out her grandmother Lois, sister-in-law Cortney and 6-month-old niece Paisleigh didn't make it. Cortney and Paisleigh, her husband and the dad, he is a marine and he is flying home on an airplane as we speak, said Schultz,Only three made it out alive. The coroner says the driver of the pick-up was treated on the scene. He didn't even have to go to the hospital.Schultz's 4 year old daughter was also in the car. Aleigha was pulled out with only scratches and bruises. They said she was cramped up in the floor board, in a tiny little space and they said whenever they found her she was trying to unbuckle the infant out of the car seat, said Schultz.She says her grandfather, Otis, is barely holding on to his life. My grand dad was airlifted to memorial in Savannah, said Schultz. We are going up there to make the family decision on what needs to be done, said Schultz. Schultz says physically four-year-old Aleigha is doing just fine. But mentally, she doesn't know if her baby girl will ever be the same. She thinks that it is her fault that everything happened, said Schultz. It's hard to know that my four year old is going to have to live with the image of this for the rest of her life. Georgia State Patrol is investigating the crash and there is no word yet on if any charges will be filed |
