Teen killed, another injured in wreck near Denmark High School
A 16-year-old died and another student was hurt in a single-car wreck on Mullinax Road, just steps from Denmark High School’s sign.
A 16-year-old student was killed and another student was injured in a Tuesday morning wreck on Mullinax Road near Denmark High School, the Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office said. The crash happened close to the school sign and involved a single car that struck a light pole after the driver hit a curb while going around a curve.
Forsyth County Sheriff Ron Freeman said one student died and another was hurt in the wreck. The crash is under investigation by the Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office, which has not released additional details about the teens or what led up to the collision beyond the vehicle’s path on the curve.
The student who died did not attend Denmark High School. That student was enrolled at Alliance Academy for Innovation, Forsyth County’s college-and-career preparatory school. The injured student’s condition has not been detailed publicly.
The wreck landed in the middle of one of south Forsyth’s most recognizable school corridors. Denmark High School is the county’s sixth traditional high school and sits next to the property where Dr. Leila Denmark lived and operated her last medical office. The school is named for Dr. Denmark, one of the first women pediatricians in Georgia, making the area especially prominent for families across the district.
The crash also placed a harsh spotlight on Mullinax Road, a route used daily by students, parents, school buses and commuters around Denmark High. A single-car collision in that setting can ripple far beyond the scene itself, especially when it ends in the death of a teenager and leaves another student hurt just steps from campus.
