The Lexington neighborhood is heartbroken over the terrible death of Barbara Hartwell, who died following a weather-related vehicle crash Saturday night on South Main Street near the railway overpass at Wilfred Avenue.
Lexington police say officers answered around 9 p.m. Saturday to a single-car collision in the vicinity. Investigators reported that Hartwell was walking along the sidewalk when a vehicle going south left the road, veered over an embankment, and collided with her.
Tow crews were unable to get the car out of the scene that night because it was freezing. Police said at the time of the collision that everyone in the car was accounted for. Two young passengers with minor injuries were sent to a nearby hospital.
Officers came back to the site about 10 a.m. Sunday after a body was found in the woods near the crash site. Barbara Hartwell, a Lexington local, was the victim's name. Injuries suffered in the collision caused her to be declared dead.
Family, friends, and community members are grieving a life snatched far too early as a result of the terrible tragedy. While loved ones grieve, officials keep investigating the whole context of the tragedy.
Lexington police claimed they are discussing with the District Attorney's Office any potential charges. The inquiry is still ongoing.
