    • Head-on crash kills Lexington woman

      A 61-year-old Lexington woman died in a head-on collision Thursday afternoon in Lexington County.

      The woman, identified by county Coroner Harry Harman as Barbara Wilkes Bowles, was driving east on Millstream Road around 1:23 p.m., when her vehicle crossed into oncoming traffic near Hickory Hill Road.

      The Honda struck a Chevrolet pickup, S.C. Highway Patrol Lance Cpl. Josef Robinson said. The pickup's driver, Jonathan Coburn, 25, of South Congaree, and passenger Andrew Webber, 20, of Lexington County, were uninjured. Both wore seat belts.

      Bowles, who also was wearing a seat belt, died at the scene, Robinson said.
