MARIETTA, GA – A 22-year-old woman was killed and two other people, including a 19-month-old baby, were injured in a single-vehicle crash Friday in Cobb County.

The driver, 22-year-old Ashleigh Smith, of Marietta, Ga., was transported to Wellstar Kennestone Hospital, where she was later pronounced dead.
Her 19-month-old child – who was properly restrained in a child safety seat – was taken to Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta Scottish Rite to be treated for non-life-threatening injuries.
A passenger, a 25-year-old man, was taken to Wellstar Kennestone Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
