LOWNDES COUNTY, Ga. (WTXL)--The senior airman from Moody Air Force Base who was killed in a car wreck is now identified.
Georgia State Patrol troopers say 22-year-old Sara Elizabeth Toy died at the scene.
She was in the backseat of the Mazda. The crash happened Saturday at 1:30 a.m. Troopers say 29-year old Joshua Ryan Stephenson, of California, was driving when he ran off Coleman Road. The car hit a tree with the driver's side door, overturned, and landed in a ditch on its roof.
Twenty-six-year-old Abbott Joshua Dale, of Illinois,was in the front passenger seat. Dale and Stephenson were airlifted to Archbold Memorial Hospital in Thomasville for their severe injuries. They are also airmen at Moody Air Force Base. Troopers suspect alcohol to be a factor in the crash. They are investigating.
Moody Air Force Base says Toy, of New Kent, Virginia, began her career in the air force on August 13, 2013, arriving at Moody on February 14, 2014.
She was assigned to the 74th Aircraft Maintenance Unit as a weapons team chief.
"It is a great loss to us all when we lose a member of our Air Force family. Each and every member of Team Moody shares in the sorrow felt by her loved ones, but we must not forget the valuable contributions Airman Toy made to Moody Air Force Base," said Col. Thomas Kunkel, 23d Wing Commander. "My condolences go out to her family and friends. We, as a base, will continually be by the side of our two injured Airman.
