A Honda driven by 45-year-old Jerry Overcash was heading north on South Main Street near Camp Road around 4 p.m. when it crossed over into oncoming traffic and hit a Nissan head-on, killing the driver, 23-year-old Deasha Jones, according to investigators.

It does not appear speed was a factor in the collision, according to troopers.
