WSOC TV is reporting that a woman has died following a collision on Garden Valley Road near the overpass of Interstate 40 in Iredell County, according to the state Highway Patrol. Troopers said a 1999 Oldsmobile Eighty-Eight was traveling north on Garden Valley Road when it crossed the center line, ran off the road to the left, struck a bridge railing, overturned, and became submerged in the South Yadkin River.
