Smyrna Police Officer Michael Smith said Lisa Stark, 25, of Smyrna, was trying to cross Concord Road at Hollis Street with her 5-year-old and 7-month-old children to get to a bus stop around 7:45 a.m. when they were hit by a 2010 Hyundai Santa Fe driven by Lawren Butcher, 54, of Smyrna.
Stark lost control of the 5-year-old, who ran out across the four-lane road, police said.
Stark was taken to Kennestone Hospital with a broken ankle and was released Monday. The children were taken to Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta at Egleston with minor injuries and should be released today.
Butcher, who was not injured, has not been charged because initial investigations show that it was a “low-speed collision,” Smith said.
Smith said Stark could be charged because she and her children were not in a crosswalk.
“They were running across the road during rush hour,” he said.

Mary if you keep on running down Smyrna you are Never going to sell your house, You are cutting off your own foot by running down your own town. All the hatred you put out is only hurting YOU>
While other cities focus on traffic 'calming' solutions, city of Smyrna has an outdated model of highways, traffic, automoblies & cement.
It's a shame , really,.. w/ it's location,... it HAD potential. Too late really-Its noticeable when you come from East Cobb, Sandy Springs or city of Atlanta,.. you know you're here when the trees disappear, you see no quaint areas, no resturants, shops, bikelanes or pedestrian crosswalks!!
If you want quality of life, Smyrna is certainly not the place!
