An accident in Frederick County killed three people after a head-on collision on Sunday afternoon, according to Virginia State Police.

A 60-year-old man was traveling west when he crossed a double solid yellow center line and collided head-on with another vehicle at 1:42 p.m. near the intersection of Wardensville Pike and Bushy Ridge Drive.

Donald R. Mallow Jr., of Fredericksburg, was driving the 2007 GMC Sierra traveling west when it collided with an eastbound 2019 Buick Encore Essence.

Mallow was transported to Winchester Medical Center where he later died. He was not wearing a seatbelt.

The driver of the Buick, Diana J. Harman, 60, of Petersburg, W.Va., died at the scene. A passenger in her vehicle, Patricia A. Gapp, 85, of Fisher, W.Va., also died at the scene. Both were wearing seatbelts.

The crash remains under investigation.
