PONTOTOC COUNTY, Miss. (WTVA) -- An Okolona teenager is dead after a two-car accident on Highway 6 in the Furrs community.
County Coroner Kim Bedford said the 911 call was placed at 7:19 Friday night.
Trooper Ray Hall of the Mississippi Highway Patrol says Charity Smith, 18, of Okolona, died as a result of her injuries.
Smith was driving a Buick LeSabre and apparently tried to pull from a private drive onto Highway 278 when she pulled into the path of a 2010 Ford F-150, driven by Harry Bostick, 55, of Oxford.
An unidentified passenger in Smith's car was transported to North Mississippi Medical Center in Tupelo with serious but non life-threatening injuries.
Hall said neither person in Smith's car wore a seat belt.
Bostick had minor injuries, but was wearing a seat belt. Authorities say he went to the hospital by private vehicle and was subsequently treated and released.
Hall said charges are pending in the accident, depending on what's revealed as the investigation continues.
