A Bedford County woman bound for a family Thanksgiving dinner died Monday of injuries suffered in a head-on crash Sunday on U.S. 41A South.

State Trooper Nathan Archer's report said that Evelyn K, Barton, 88, of Normandy was seriously hurt in the crash at the Normandy Road intersection on Sunday afternoon. She died from the injuries on Monday.

Barton was a passenger in a 1999 Chevrolet Silverado pickup driven by her son Richard A. Barton, 51, of Normandy.

Lynn L. Bell, 74, of Manchester was southbound on 41A in a 2009 Ford Escape and turned into the path of the Barton truck, striking it head-on, according to Archer's report. A citation for failure to yield is pending against Bell, who was injured in the crash.

Richard Barton was not hurt, the report said. A family member posted on Facebook the Bartons were headed for the dinner in Normandy at the time of the crash.
