Martinez teen killed in single-car wreck
A single-car wreck killed a Martinez man early Wednesday.
Michael Anthony Hill, 19, of the 3700 block of Pine Ridge Run in Petersburg Station, died at about 3 a.m. while traveling east on Wheeler Road near Kings Bridge Road, according to a Columbia County Sheriff's Office report.
Capt. John Whittle said Hill lost control of a borrowed Ford Mustang, which then slid sideways down an embankment.
The car hit a driveway culvert and flipped several times, partially ejecting Hill and coming to rest next to the entrance to Funsville at 4350 Wheeler Road, according to the report.
Columbia County Deputy Coroner Vernon Collins said Hill was wearing his seat belt but died of head and chest injuries. Collins said results of a blood-alcohol test are pending.
The following accounts were taken from reports filed with the Columbia County Sheriff's Office.
