A Nashville couple and twin infants (boy and girl) escaped injury in a one car crash Sunday night on Highway 70 east (Sligo Hill) on the Smithville side.

24 year old Ashly Vaul was driving west in a 2004 Chevrolet Aveo when the car started to hydroplane in the rain and went off the road into a ditch coming to rest on its side. 26 year old Logan Cochrane and two-four month old infants were passengers.

DeKalb EMS was at the scene and checked out the infants but they did not have to be transported to the hospital. The adults refused transport to the hospital.

Members of the DeKalb County Sheriff’s Department and DeKalb Volunteer Fire Department were also on the scene.
