LANCASTER - A 64-year-old city woman was killed Saturday on Ohio 159 when a homemade utility trailer detached from the pickup truck pulling it and struck her vehicle.

Judy A. Bynum died at the scene of the 1:58 p.m. crash, the Ohio Highway Patrol said.

A passenger in her 2004 Hyundai Elantra, Robert T. Bynum, 65, of Lancaster, was air-lifted to Mount Carmel Hospital in Columbus with non-life threatening injuries.

Police said Bynum was traveling southbound on Ohio 159 at milepost 5 and Keith Carver, 56, of Stoutsville, was traveling north in a 2008 Ford F-150 and pulling the trailer. The trailer became unhitched, broke loose from the truck and crossed the center line, hitting Bynum's car head-on. 

Carver and his passenger, Cathi J. Jago, 57, of Stoutsville, were not injured.

All involved in the crash were wearing seat belts.

Along with the highway patrol, fire departments from Amanda, Hocking Township and Clearcreek Township responded, as did the Fairfield County coroner's office.

The crash remains under investigation.
