Keisha Edwards passed away unexpectedly due to a freak accident at the age of 26 in Columbus, GA. She was born into a devoted family on January 23rd,1994 to parents Christopher Edwards and Shirley Noel in Manhattan, New York. Keisha is survived by her mother, her brother Marcus Edwards; her aunt and uncles, her maternal grandparents, Elizabeth Noel(NYC) and Ashley Roberts (residing in St. Patricks, Grenada); Tony, several grandaunts and uncles in Canada and Grenada, and a host of devoted cousins and friends whom she loved dearly. She is preceded in death by her beloved Father, Christopher Edwards, her aunt, Quiya Scott, and her paternal grandparents, Adele and George Scott.
Keisha survived a car Accident — but then died after a utility pole fell on her in what officials are referring to as a "very freak accidental death."
Keisha Edwards sadly passed away on Wednesday evening after a utility pole came crashing down while she was standing on the side of the road following a car accident. The 26-year-old Columbus resident was driving on the 5300 block of Woodruff Farm Road with a male friend when their vehicle was involved in the crash, which they both survived without suffering any injuries. After safely exiting their car, the pair headed out to survey the damage, but were involved in another incident — this time, involving an elderly woman who drove her car up a nearby telephone guyed wire. That crash then caused a utility pole on the other side of the road to snap in half — right where Keisha, her friend, and another driver who stopped to help them were standing, ultimately leading to the fatal collision. When the pole broke it became a pendulum, swung and hit the three people, killing Keisha.
Columbus Police Lt. Lance Deaton echoed his sentiments, noting how the series of tragic events were truly a perfect storm. "Basically, it was a one-car accident — car vs. pole — and everything you would want to happen happened," Deaton said. "All the right things. They appeared to be okay, someone stopped to help." Deaton added that Keisha's friend suffered a broken leg from the utility pole incident, while the person who stopped to helped had a broken foot.
