A Heiskell woman died in a two-car crash on Wednesday afternoon on East Wolf Valley Road in Anderson County.
The Tennessee Highway Patrol said the crash happened shortly after 5 p.m. Wednesday when Patricia Beckinger, 68, of Heiskell, lost control of her westbound Chevy Cavalier. It crossed into the eastbound lane and hit a 2000 Toyota Camry being driven by Alexandria Bone, 18, of Andersonville.

The crash was investigated by THP Trooper Michael Wilson.
Standard blood tests were requested, according to the report.
No citations were issued, and no charges were filed.
