One lady revealed that the family had been by and had retrieved personal belongings from the site. She stood by the side of the hill, a testament to the grief the entire community feels. “We’re not supposed to question God’s plan but when things like this happen you can’t help it,” she whispered, tears spilling down her face.

Pickens County is suffering a tragic loss this morning after a wreck last evening took the life of a young bride. Kali Shay Dobson, 25, of Ball Ground died on Highway 5 near her hometown after being thrown from her husband’s vehicle shortly after the wedding party concluded at Wheeler House, sources say.

Dobson and Ryan Patrick Quinton, 27, of Jasper had exchanged vows earlier yesterday afternoon and left the party in his Firebird. Quinton swerved to avoid a dog when he lost control and the vehicle left the road, overturning and ejecting Dobson.

Quinton was treated and has been released from Northside Hospital in Cherokee County. Charges are pending but what they could be has not yet been determined or provided.

The following statement was released from the Georgia Department of Public Safety:
