A 92-year-old woman died from injuries sustained in a head-on collision on Beatties Ford Road in north Charlotte, WBTV reported.

The crash occurred around 4:30 p.m. on Sunday, October 11, involving three vehicles and resulting in six people suffering life-threatening injuries.

Charlotte-Mecklenburg police said a 66-year-old man was driving his Ram pick-up truck at a high speed on the wrong side of the road before colliding head-on with a Kia Sorento, which was carrying the woman, and also striking a Tesla.

Authorities have not released the identities or conditions of the other five injured individuals, and investigations are ongoing with speed and impairment suspected as contributing factors, according to police.

Further updates are expected as the investigation continues.
