A 28-year-old woman and her 10-and-a-half 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 the Northeast Side, was headed east on Havens Corners Road when it went across a double yellow line into the westbound lanes of traffic. The Impala struck a 2019 Chevrolet Trax driven by 34-year-old Elizabeth Brickey of Pataskala.
