*363Following an automobile collision, Doris Williams sued Juanita Durden for the injuries she sustained. The trial court granted summary judgment to Durden on the ground that Williams's suit was barred by the two-year statute of limitation applicable to personal *364injury claims, OCGA § 9-3-33. Williams appeals, contending that the trial court erred in granting summary judgment to Durden because there was evidence that the limitation period was tolled pursuant to OCGA § 9-3-99. For the reasons discussed below, we agree with Williams and therefore reverse.
"On appeal from a grant of summary judgment, we conduct a de novo review of the evidence to determine if there exists a *525genuine issue of material fact and whether the undisputed facts, viewed in the light most favorable to the nonmoving party, entitle the movant to judgment as a matter of law." (Citation, punctuation, and footnote omitted.) Wilson v. Obstetrics & Gynecology of Atlanta , 304 Ga. App. 300, 301, 696 S.E.2d 339 (2010). See OCGA § 9-11-56 (c). The movant on summary judgment has the burden of proof regarding the affirmative defense of the running of the statute of limitation, and once the movant presents evidence that the limitation period has run, "[t]he burden of persuasion then shifts to the nonmovant to present some evidence showing that an issue exists that the statute has not run but has been tolled." (Citation and punctuation omitted.) Smith v. Suntrust Bank , 325 Ga. App. 531, 539 (1), 754 S.E.2d 117 (2014). Summary judgment is improper if a genuine factual dispute exists concerning whether the limitation period has been tolled. See id. at 542 (1), 754 S.E.2d 117 ; Wilson , 304 Ga. App. at 305 (1), 696 S.E.2d 339.
Under Georgia law, with certain exceptions, "actions for injuries to the person shall be brought within two years after the right of action accrues." OCGA § 9-3-33. However, the limitation period may be tolled for actions brought by crime victims pursuant to OCGA § 9-3-99, which provides in relevant part:
The running of the period of limitations with respect to any cause of action in tort that may be brought by the victim of an alleged crime which arises out of the facts and circumstances relating to the commission of such alleged crime committed in this state shall be tolled from the date of the commission of the alleged crime or the act giving rise to such action in tort until the prosecution of such crime or act has become final or otherwise terminated ....
"By its plain language, the statute contemplates extending the time in which a victim may file a tort action where there are pending criminal charges arising out of the same facts or circumstances."
*365Stopanio v. Leon's Fence & Guardrail, LLC , 346 Ga. App. 18, 21 (1), 815 S.E.2d 232 (2018).1 OCGA § 9-3-99 applies to torts arising from violations of the Uniform Rules of the Road. Beneke v. Parker , 285 Ga. 733, 734, 684 S.E.2d 243 (2009). Thus, the limitation period for a tort action arising from a traffic violation is tolled until the prosecution for the violation is no longer pending. See Forbes v. Smith , 338 Ga. App. 546, 548, 790 S.E.2d 550 (2016) ; McGhee v. Jones , 287 Ga. App. 345, 347 (2), 652 S.E.2d 163 (2007).
Guided by this legal framework, we turn to the record in this case. Viewed in favor of Williams as the nonmovant, the record reflects that on October 16, 2014, Williams and Durden were involved in an automobile collision on Highway 54 in Fayetteville, Georgia. The responding police officer issued Durden a uniform traffic citation ("UTC" or "citation") for following too closely, and the UTC listed November 18, 2014 as the date for contesting the citation in the City of Fayetteville Municipal Court. On October 27, 2014, Durden paid the traffic citation, which resulted in a bond forfeiture on November 18, 2014, the court date set in the UTC.
Williams filed her personal injury suit against Durden on November 10, 2016. Durden later moved for summary judgment, contending that Williams's lawsuit was barred by the two-year statute of limitation imposed by OCGA § 9-3-33. Durden further contended that even if the statute of limitation was tolled by OCGA § 9-3-99 based on the prosecution of her traffic violation in municipal court, the prosecution was terminated when she paid the citation on October 27, 2014, such that the limitation period began to run on that date and expired two years later, before Williams filed her lawsuit.
Williams opposed the summary judgment motion, arguing that there was evidence that the prosecution of Durden for the traffic violation remained pending until November 18, 2014, the date the municipal court forfeited *526Durden's bond, and that the tolling period under OCGA § 9-3-99 did not end until that date. And, because that date was less than two years before she filed her personal injury lawsuit, Williams argued that her suit was timely under OCGA § 9-3-33.
Following a hearing, the trial court granted Durden's motion for summary judgment, concluding that the prosecution of Durden for the traffic violation was terminated on October 27, 2014, when she *366paid the traffic citation. Consequently, the trial court ruled that Williams had filed her lawsuit more than two years after the tolling period began to run and that her suit thus was time-barred under OCGA § 9-3-33. This appeal by Williams followed.
Because Durden carried her burden of showing that Williams's lawsuit was filed more than two years after the cause of action accrued, the burden shifted to Williams to produce some evidence that the limitation period had not run because the suit was tolled under OCGA § 9-3-99. See Forbes , 338 Ga. App. at 547, 790 S.E.2d 550 ; Smith , 325 Ga. App. at 539 (1), 754 S.E.2d 117. Our review of the record leads us to conclude that Williams met her burden in this case, and that the trial court therefore erred in granting summary judgment to Durden based on the statute of limitation.
The UTC issued to Durden on October 16, 2014 commenced her prosecution in municipal court for the traffic violation of following too closely. See OCGA §§ 17-7-71 (b) (1) ("In all misdemeanor cases arising out of violations of the laws of this state, relating to ... the operation and licensing of motor vehicles and operators ... the defendant may be tried upon the uniform traffic citation and complaint provided for in Article 1 of Chapter 13 of Title 40."); 40-13-1 (UTC "shall serve as the citation, summons, accusation, or other instrument of prosecution of the offense or offenses for which the accused is charged"); Forbes , 338 Ga. App. at 547, 790 S.E.2d 550 (noting that "the UTC issued by the officer ... commenced prosecution on the alleged misdemeanor traffic offense"). Williams's lawsuit therefore was tolled by OCGA § 9-3-99 until Durden's prosecution for the traffic violation was no longer pending in municipal court. See Stopanio , 346 Ga. App. at 21 (1), 815 S.E.2d 232 ( OCGA § 9-3-99 extends time for filing tort action "where there are pending criminal charges"); Forbes , 338 Ga. App. at 548, 790 S.E.2d 550 (lawsuit tolled under OCGA § 9-3-99 while prosecution remains pending).
In opposing summary judgment, Williams produced evidence that the prosecution of Durden for the traffic violation remained pending in municipal court until November 18, 2014, which was less than two years before the lawsuit was filed. In this regard, Williams submitted as an exhibit a certified copy of the UTC issued to Durden, and the completed "Disposition and Sentence" section of the UTC listed the "action" disposing of the case as a "bond forfeiture" and the "disposition date" as November 18, 2014. Additionally, Williams submitted as an exhibit a certified copy of a docket record from the municipal court that listed the "court date" for Durden's traffic violation as November 18, 2014 and designated the "finding" in the *367case as a "bond forfeiture." These public records,2 construed in favor of *527Williams, would support a finding that while Durden paid her traffic citation on October 27, 2014, the prosecution of Durden for the traffic citation remained pending until November 18, 2014, when a municipal court judge forfeited Durden's bond and disposed of the case. See OCGA § 40-13-1 (UTC "shall serve as ... the record of the disposition of the matter by the court before which the accused is brought"); Beneke v. Parker , 293 Ga. App. 186, 187, 667 S.E.2d 97 (2008) (noting that the "traffic citation was not resolved until ... the bond forfeiture"), rev'd in part on other grounds, 285 Ga. 733, 684 S.E.2d 243 (2009). Accordingly, there was evidence that Williams's personal injury action was tolled by OCGA § 9-3-99 until November 18, 2014 and that her lawsuit thus was timely.3
In concluding that the Durden's prosecution for the traffic violation terminated for purposes of OCGA § 9-3-99 when she paid her traffic *368citation on October 27, 2014, the trial court relied on McGhee v. Jones , 287 Ga. App. 345, 347 (2), 652 S.E.2d 163 (2007), but that case is distinguishable. In McGhee , we affirmed the trial court's grant of summary judgment to the defendant on statute-of-limitation grounds based on the conclusion that the defendant's prosecution for a traffic violation terminated for purposes of OCGA § 9-3-99 when she "paid the fine for her traffic ticket." McGhee , 287 Ga. App. at 347 (2), 652 S.E.2d 163. However, there is no indication in McGhee that the defendant paid her ticket before the date scheduled for the hearing in traffic court, in contrast to the present case. Furthermore, and most notably, we pointed out in McGhee that the plaintiffs had procedurally abandoned any argument that the defendant remained subject to prosecution after payment of the traffic ticket. Id. Thus, McGhee did not involve a situation where, as in the instant case, evidence was properly submitted that the prosecution of the defendant for the traffic violation remained pending after payment of the traffic citation until the hearing date when the defendant's bond was forfeited.
For these reasons, Williams met her burden of producing evidence that the two-year limitation period applicable to her tort suit had not run because it was tolled. Accordingly, the trial court erred in granting summary judgment to Durden.
Judgment reversed.
