Thelma Lou Ann Coe, of 178 Lee Britt Road, was driving north at about 11:45 p.m. Friday when her 2000 Chevrolet SUV ran off of the road to the right, came back onto the road and exited it again to the right, striking a utility pole, according to the report by Trooper B.K. Covington.
Coe, who was alone in the vehicle and was not wearing a seat belt, was flown to UNC Hospitals in Chapel Hill and died Saturday morning, according to Highway Patrol.
