CHESAPEAKE, Va. — Two women died after a car and minivan were involved in a head-on crash in Western Branch Tuesday.
It happened around 11:15 a.m. in the 4400 block of Taylor Road.
Police said Wednesday that the women who died were Shanell Reid, 35, and Annie Jones, 78.
Reid lived in the 1700 block of Mill Wood Way in Suffolk. Jones lived in the 5000 block of James Way in Smithfield.
Reid, who was driving a 2013 Hyundai Sonata, died at the scene. Jones, who was her passenger, died at the hospital.
