AHOSKIE – A head-on crash on Bonner Bridge Road near here Friday morning resulted in the death of one driver.

Tyler Nelson, 33, of Windsor died in the two-car accident that occurred just after 7 a.m.

According to a report filed by North Carolina State Highway Patrol Trooper C.C. Chamblee, Nelson was operating a 2007 Chevrolet passenger car northbound on Bonner Bridge Road.

Chamblee said as Nelson’s vehicle reached the bridge, the car went left of center, striking a 2019 GMC truck head-on. That truck, traveling south, was driven by Edwin Rose, 52, of Murfreesboro.

Nelson died at the scene, according to Chamblee. Rose, who was transported by ambulance to ECU Health Roanoke-Chowan Hospital, was not seriously injured.

The fatality was the fifth of the year in the Highway Patrol’s Troop A / District 2 area (Bertie, Gates, and Hertford counties). Two of those deaths have occurred in Hertford County.
