NATHALIE — Two people were killed in a two-car acci-dent Monday night in Halifax County, said 1st Sgt. J.N. Lane of the Virginia State Police.
Joseph Paul Dickerson, 34, of South Boston, and Acie Lewis Francis, 32, of Nathalie, both were ejected from a 2004 Ford Explorer, Lane said.
Dickerson was pronounced dead at the scene; Francis was transported to Halifax Re-gional Hospital where she was pronounced dead. Neither were wearing seatbelts, Lane said.
Lane said the Explorer crossed into the path of a 1990 Cadillac Fleetwood on Vir-ginia 645 at about 8:40 p.m.
The two cars sideswiped each other, then the Explorer flipped several times.
A third passenger in the Explorer was wearing his seatbelt and was treated and released from Halifax Re-gional.
The occupants of the Cadil-lac suffered minor injuries.
No charges have been filed. Police are continuing to inves-tigate the accident.
