A deadly car crash near Old Highway 49 results in one death and injures another person on early Wednesday morning, November 17, 2021.

The fatal collision took place on Highway 49, near Drytown, just north of Old Highway 49, at approximately 5:00 a.m.

A northbound 2015 Toyota Corolla was traveling on Highway 49 at 40-50 mph when the Toyota suddenly collided head-on with an oncoming southbound Honda Insight.

The Honda Insight was driving at high speeds at the time of the accident. It’s unclear why the Honda Insight was traveling in the opposing lanes.

Due to the severity of the impact, the Honda driver was ejected from his vehicle. He was pronounced dead at the scene. The identity of the Honda driver has not been disclosed.

Meanwhile, the Toyota driver sustained minor injuries in the accident. She was identified as 28-year-old Jeanne R.

Information about the crash is limited at the moment. The accident is currently under further investigation.
