A Union woman died from injuries she received in a head-on collision Saturday in Spartanburg County.

According to the Spartanburg County Coroner’s Office, Janice Carol Williams, 38, of Vernon Foster Road died at 6:33 a.m. in Spartanburg Regional Medical Center. She was a front seat passenger in a 1998 Toyota that was struck head-on in a wreck on I-26 that occurred around 5:20 a.m. The driver of the car, Katherine E.
