On Tuesday afternoon of this past week, a fatal two-car accident was reported on Route 14/Elizabeth Pike that took the life of one person.
83-year-old Margaret Dye, of Mineral Wells, died after she had been driving her 2006 Toyota Camry and a pickup truck went left-of-center, colliding with her vehicle.
The driver of the pickup truck that struck her vehicle was identified as 35-year-old Jerry Wayne Hartley. He was flown to the Charleston Area Medical Center. His passenger, 41-year-old Centha Diveley, was taken by ambulance to another hospital.
