A two-vehicle wreck involving a scooter claimed the life of a 21-year-old Forsyth County woman Monday. Kirsti Sue Baiel died as a result of massive trauma at Northside Hospital-Forsyth a few hours after the collision, according to Doug Rainwater, a spokesman for the Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office.“Next of kin have been notified and were at the hospital with her when she passed away,” Rainwater said. The collision occurred about 10:45 a.m. on Spot Road at McCoy Circle, northwest of Cumming, according to the sheriff’s office. Baiel was driving a scooter south on McCoy when she was struck by a Chrysler 300 heading west on Spot. Rainwater said the driver of the Chrysler, 20-year-old Christopher Rubessa of Forsyth County, was not injured in the collision. As of Monday afternoon, no charges had been filed in connection with the crash.“The investigation is being [conducted] currently by our traffic unit,” Rainwater said. “They’re still trying to piece it together.” Check back for updates at forsythnews.com or see the next edition of the Forsyth County News.
