A map showing the area where a fatal crash occurred that claimed two lives Monday afternoon.

Two people have died following a multi-vehicle crash on Hwy 109 near Garner Road just after noon on Monday, according to NC Highway Patrol.

Officers were called to the scene of the crash at 12:39 p.m. on Feb 5. Police reports say the driver of a Honda SUV traveling southbound tried to go around a tractor-trailer in the same southbound lane and ended up colliding with a Dodge SUV traveling northbound.

That caused the Honda to collide with the tractor-trailer and another vehicle, a Volvo, in the northbound lane behind the Dodge.

Highway patrol said the drivers of the Honda and the Dodge were both killed in the crash and have identified them as Cynthia Jane Muscato, 74, of Denton, in the Honda, and Joshua Warren Ford, 32, also of Denton, in the Dodge.

No charges are expected.
