Teen killed in wreck [UPDATED]
A 16-year-old was killed early Sunday morning after being ejected from the vehicle he was driving on Highway 201, said an operator with the Georgia State Patrol.
Timothy Hunter Quinton, of Dalton, died from injuries sustained in the one-car wreck.
Quinton, who attended Northwest High School, was driving north on Ga. Highway 201 at Jimmy Drive just before 1:30 a.m. when he lost control of his Nisson Frontier pickup on a curve, the operator said. He crossed into the southbound lane and left the roadway where he struck a culvert and a mailbox that caused his truck to “rotate on its top several times,” the operator said.
Quinton was not wearing his seat belt.
There were no passengers and no other injuries.
Services for Quinton are Tuesday at 4 p.m. at Eleventh Avenue Baptist Church. The family will receive friends at the church today from 5 to 9 p.m.
