The district says it was informed by Coweta Emergency Management around 11:15 a.m. that six teenagers, all students at Northgate High School, were involved in a single-vehicle crash on Vaughn Road north of Brandon Lane.
Officials said the crash happened off campus.
The Coweta County Sheriff’s Office confirmed deputies responded to the scene and assisted fire personnel and the Georgia State Patrol.
GSP says a male student who was driving a 2021 black Honda Accord was traveling too fast for conditions and ran off the side of the road while negotiating a right curve.
The car then hit a utility pole before coming to a stop against the base of a large tree, GSP said.
Emergency responders arrived quickly, and the students were taken to various Atlanta hospitals for medical treatment, according to the school system.
GSP said two girls had serious injuries and were airlifted. The extent of their injuries has not been released.
