One woman is recovering from the injuries she sustained in head on car crash in Jackson County.

State Police say it happened Sunday afternoon near Highway 51 and Beech Road. That’s north of Dowell.

According to authorities, 19 year old Keaton Tyner, of Elkville, was driving south on 51 when he swerved into the opposite lane, into the path of a van driven by 71 year old Joyce Chamness, also of Elkville.

Chamness was taken to a local hospital for treatment of non-life threatening injuries.

Tyner was issued a citation for improper lane usage.
