PEACHTREE CITY - A 41-year-old man is dead after a woman crashed into his minivan as she tried to elude police. <br> <br> Georgia State Patrol Spokesman Gordy Wright says 37-year-old Loraine McCrary of Jonesboro had her three children in the car with her Saturday night when she crashed head-on into the driver&#39;s side of the Chrysler minivan on Georgia 54 in Fayette County. <br> <br> Wright said the minivan&#39;s driver, 41-year-old Norman Charles Vicha Junior of Peachtree City, was killed instantly. <br> <br> McCrary, who was driving a Ford Explorer, was taken to Grady Memorial Hospital in Atlanta. Her seven-year-old daughter remains hospitalized. <br> <br> The other two children -- a six-year-old and a one-year-old -- have been discharged from the hospital. <br> <br> Police say the chase began in Meriwether County after an officer tried to stop McCrary. Authorities say she sped away, leading police into Fayette County. <br> <br> No charges have been filed. Wright says investigators found evidence of alcohol in the McCrary&#39;s vehicle, but police are still awaiting the results of blood alcohol tests.
