Fatal crash near south Buffalo and Peacock
Officials were investigating a fatal wreck that had roads closed early Monday morning. At around 10:38 p.m. on Sunday, two vehicles had crashed on South Buffalo Drive near Peacock Avenue, just north of Charleston. According to authorities, a black 2017 Honda Accord had been heading south on Buffalo Drive, speeding, and coming up on a sweeping right-hand turn. Meanwhile, a black Hyundai Sonata had been heading north on South Buffalo Drive. The Honda driver had crossed the center media and entered the northbound lanes, colliding with the approaching Hyundai. The impact was strong enough to push the Hyundai onto a roadside barrier.
The front of the Honda had hit the front of the Hyundai with such force that the Hyundai was pushed onto a roadside barrier. The driver of the Hyundai was pronounced dead at the scene. The driver of the Honda was taken to the hospital with serious injuries. The roads were closed for several hours as officials investigated the scene and cleared the wreckage. It is unclear at this time if any charges will be filed against the Honda driver. The investigation is ongoing and more information will be released as it becomes available.
No more information is available at this time.
