A 28-year-old woman and her 10½-month old son were killed in a head-on crash Friday afternoon in Jefferson Township.
According to the Franklin County Sheriff's office, the crash occurred around 2:20 p.m. on the 7000 block of Havens Corners Road near Fox Chase Drive in Jefferson Township.
A crash report shows a 2007 Chevrolet Impala driven by 28-year-old Shena Mackey, of Columbus' Northeast Side, was headed east on Havens Corners Road when it crossed a double yellow line into the westbound lane and crashed head-on with a 2019 Chevrolet Trax driven by 34-year-old Elizabeth Brickey of Pataskala.
Sheriff's office investigators said the Impala appeared to be going above the 45 mph speed limit on Havens Corners Road at the time of the crash.
Mackey was trapped in the Impala and was pronounced dead at the scene. Her infant son, Sa'kye Jackson, was taken in critical condition to Mount Carmel East Hospital, where he died about 35 minutes after the crash.
Brickey was taken to Mount Carmel East Hospital in stable condition.
Medics from Jefferson Township and West Licking volunteer fire departments responded to the crash.
Havens Corners Road was closed for hours between Reynoldsburg-New Albany Road and North Waggoner Road during the crash response and investigation.
