A head-on crash on Friday in Accomack County killed one driver and required two people to be airlifted to a nearby hospital.

Kim K. Lombardi, 73, of Milton, Del., died at the scene.

The fatal accident occurred at 2:07 p.m. on Route 13, according to a report from Virginia State Police.

A Nissan Versa, driven by Lombardi, was travelling northbound on Route 13, near the intersection with Gillespie Lane, when it crossed the median and struck a Chevrolet Silverado with five occupants head-on.

The driver of the Silverado, Nathan A. Bean, 42, of Newport News, and one juvenile passenger were airlifted with serious but non-life-threatening injuries. Three additional passengers, one adult and two juveniles, were transported to area hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

The crash remains under investigation.
