POWDERSVILLE — A 76-year-old Easley woman died as a result of injuries sustained in a single-car accident Saturday morning.

The Anderson County Coroner’s Office identified the woman as Barbara Owens.

Owens was traveling south on Sitton Hill Road around 1.5 miles east of Easley on Saturday morning, according to Lance Corporal Tony Keller with the South Carolina Highway Patrol.

Her 2001 Ford went off the left side of the roadway and struck a traffic sign before striking a tree, Keller said.

Owens was not ejected from or trapped inside the vehicle. She was taken by ambulance to Greenville Memorial Hospital, where she succumbed to her injuries.

The Highway Patrol is still investigating the accident.
