A 59-year-old Hartwell woman was killed early Friday morning in a two-vehicle crash in Hart County.
At approximately 7:36 a.m. on September 8, troopers from Post 52 in Hartwell responded to the crash at the intersection of Highways 17 and 51.
The crash investigation revealed that Linda Small Christie was driving a Pontiac G6 west on Hwy. 51. State troopers say Christie “failed to stop at the posted stop sign.” The Pontiac pulled into the path of a northbound Ford Explorer on Hwy. 17.
The Explorer struck the driver’s side of the G6, killing Christie. She was pronounced dead at the scene.
The Explorer driver, 32-year-old Sheree Keller of Royston, and a 16-year-old juvenile passenger in the Explorer were transported to AnMed Health Medical Center in Anderson, South Carolina, to be treated for their injuries.
Troopers cited Keller for not having valid insurance.
