Woman dies in head-on collision in Milton

A 53-year-old woman died April 29 on Hopewell Road after she hit another motorist head-on while driving on the wrong side of the road.

According to Lt. Shawn McCarty, a spokesman for the Milton Department of Public Safety, Carol Roberts, 53, of Milton was driving south in the northbound lane on Hopewell road shortly before 11 a.m. when she hit a 19-year-old driving the right way.

Her 1998 Volvo smashed into the front of his 2003 Acura, sending him to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries. Roberts was pronounced dead on scene.

Public Safety Director Chris Lagerbloom said since the deceased was at fault, there will be no charges.

Milton police are investigating the crash, however, to determine why Roberts was driving on the wrong side of the road.
