JEFFERSON COUNTY — Authorities are investigating a fatal two-vehicle crash last night in eastern Jefferson County.

Jefferson County Coroner Eddie Joe Marks says the victim was a 33-year-old woman who was the driver of the car, but he did not release her name early Wednesday morning, as family members were still being notified.

Marks says the other vehicle involved was a truck being driven by a man who was taken to the hospital for his injuries.

The crash occurred around 10:30 p.m. last night on Route 142 east of Lamplight Lane near Opdyke.
