The accident took place at about 6:45 p.m. on Christina Parkway (Route 4) Between South College Avenue and Elkton Road.
According to Newark Police Department, Porsche Edgerton, a 29-year-old Bear Woman, was driving a 2014 Chevy Impala westbound on Christina Parkway toward Elkton Road when she tried to use the should of the road to pass a car traveling in front of her, police said. Edgerton’s vehicle struck a guardrail, and she lost control of her car. The car veered into the oncoming traffic and collided head-on with a 2005 Dodge Magnum.
