University student Sara Beth Ward was killed Thursday night after her car collided head-on with a truck on the Athens Perimeter in Oconee County.

The Athens Banner-Herald reported that Ward, 22, was headed east in her Saturn Ion when the truck, a 2001 International on the westbound side of the perimeter, crossed the median and slammed head-on into her car at about 8:30 p.m.

The Banner-Herald reported that the truck driver, 61-year-old Tommy Barber of Elberton, was taken by ambulance to St. Mary’s Hospital. The newspaper reported that fire erupted in the car and the truck spilled its load of tombstones as it rolled over, said Trooper 1st Class J. Shirah of the patrol’s Athens post.

A memorial service will be held Monday at 7 p.m. at Watson Mill State Park in Athens. According to a Facebook posting called “Celebrating Sara,” dress for the memorial “is casual like she would have wanted, and flip-flops are basically required.”

Donations can be made in Sara’s memory to Georgia Humane Society, P.O. Box 1627, Sharpsburg, GA 30277. Wages & Sons Gwinnett Chapel, Lawrenceville, GA 770-277-4550.
