Woman killed in head-on
collision in north Forsyth
By Alexander Popp
DCN Regional Staff
A Forsyth County woman was killed
in a head-on collision in north Forsyth
the morning of Oct. 24.
Barbara Morgan Fowler, 71, of
Dawsonville was killed after a 2001
Toyota Sequoia traveling east on Jot
Em Down Road allegedly crossed over
the center line and struck her Honda
CRV traveling west on the road,
according to Cpl. Doug Rainwater of
the Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office.
Rainwater said that the force of
impact from the collision took the vehi
cles off the roadway and into a nearby
yard.
Fowler’s husband, Robert Fowler,
was riding in the CRV and transported
to an area hospital with serious but not
life-threatening injuries.
Occupants of the Sequoia received
only minor injuries, refusing treatment
at the scene, Rainwater said.
Rainwater said that the driver of the
Sequoia is currently under investigation
and charges are pending based on a
toxicology report and the investigation.
“This incident is under investigation
by the (Traffic Specialist Unit) to deter
mine what caused the Sequoia to cross
over the center line,” Rainwater said.
“(The driver) was not showing any
signs of intoxication at the scene, but
we will be looking at any other factor
that may have played a part in the
crash.”
