Two Paulding County teens were fatally injured in a Saturday night crash in Carroll County involving a Georgia State Patrol car.

The Georgia State Patrol said Kylie Lindsey, 17, and Isabella Chinchilla, 16, were both killed in the accident, which happened Saturday night around 11:35 p.m. on southbound Ga. Hwy. 1 near Holly Springs Drive.

The teens were students at South Paulding High School, according to news reports.

Three others, including a state trooper, were injured and taken to the hospital.

Trooper Anthony J. Scott, 26, was taken to Tanner-Carrollton, the state patrol said. His injuries were not released.

Also injured were driver Dillon L. Wall, 18, of Douglasville, and passenger Benjamin A. Finken, 17, also of Douglasville. They were taken to Grady Hospital in Atlanta. Their injuries were not known.
