A head-on collision in Nottoway County has claimed the life of a Blackstone woman.
The crash occurred at approximately 8:35 p.m. Friday night, Sept. 26th, on Rocky Hill Road (Rt. 153), near the intersection of Poplar Lawn Road (Rt. 660).
The Courier-Record was unable to obtain an accident report until last Tuesday afternoon, Sept. 30 — after last week’s edition already had gone to press.
According to State Police, Nancy L. Douglas, 69, of Blackstone, was driving south (toward Rt. 460) on Rt. 153 in a 2016 Nissan Sentra that crossed the center line.
Police said the Sentra collided head-on with an oncoming 2006 Dodge Caravan driven by Porfirio A. Garcia, 67, of Blackstone.
Police say both drivers were wearing their seatbelts and that Ms. Douglas was transported to an area hospital, where she later died from her injuries.
Police said Mr. Garcia suffered injuries described as not life-threatening and remained at the scene.
The Sept. 26th crash remains under investigation.
