BLACKSBURG GIRL DIES IN ACCIDENT

A 9-year-old Blacksburg girl was killed in a head-on car collision Thursday in Pulaski County, state police said.

Amanda Williams died when the sports car her father was driving north on Virginia 114 in Fairlawn crossed over the center turn lane and struck another vehicle about 2:40 p.m.

Trooper D.M. Honaker said it appeared from the absence of skid marks that no attempt had been made to stop the sports car. He estimated it was traveling between 35 and 55 mph.

The girl's father, George Williams, 32, of High Meadow Road in Blacksburg, was transferred from Radford Community to Roanoke Memorial Hospital, where he was in critical conditions.

The driver of the second car, Tina Marie Rowe, 27, of Mathews Lane in Blacksburg, was traveling about 30 mph, Honaker said.
