Oxford, PA (July 19, 2022) – A woman was killed in a fatal head-on collision that took place on an Oxford highway on Tuesday morning, July 19.

Pennsylvania State Police confirmed that the crash happened at 5:42 a.m. in the northbound lanes of US-1 around the area of the Forge Road Overpass. Police responded to the scene after they received a call that a driver was traveling south in the northbound lanes of traffic. The wrong-way driver struck another vehicle head-on in the opposite lane before they were able to be stopped.

Several responders, including Oxford paramedics and fire crews, were dispatched to the scene to help those in need. The driver of the vehicle that was struck was tragically pronounced dead at the scene due to traumatic injuries. She has since been identified by police as 32-year-old Kelly Felts. The driver of the vehicle driving in the wrong direction, identified as a 24-year-old man from Maryland, was hospitalized with various injuries.

The roadway was blocked in several lanes of traffic in the area of the accident. Police did not say if the wrong-way driver will receive charges.

The investigation into the circumstances leading up to the collision continues.

Our condolences go out to the family and friends of the victim whose life was taken in this accident.
