A fatal head-on collision in Hartwell claimed the life of a 54-year-old Elbert County woman Monday afternoon.
The crash happened around 12:59 p.m. on July 21 at the intersection of Georgia Highway 77 and College Avenue. According to Georgia State Patrol Post 52 in Hartwell, a 2019 Chevy Equinox driven by Marcia Elaine Cleveland was traveling north on GA 77 when it crossed into the southbound lane and collided head-on with a 2017 Chevy Silverado.
Cleveland was pronounced dead at the scene. The driver of the Silverado, 45-year-old Damian Roger Bowen, also of Elbert County, was transported to ANMED in Anderson, South Carolina, with non-life-threatening injuries.
Troopers say impairment does not appear to be a factor in the crash.
