Shortly after 4:30 p.m. Monday, a 19-year-old Knoxville woman was killed in a head-on crash on Tazewell Pike near Adkins Road, according to the Knox County Sheriff's Office.

Kaylie Talbot was driving a Honda Civic north on Tazewell Pike and ran off the road. Investigators with KCSO said she over-corrected and crossed the center line and struck a Ford Expedition going south.

KCSO said it didn't appear Talbot was wearing a seat belt when the crash happened. She died in the ambulance on the way to the University of Tennessee Medical Center.

The driver of the SUV, a 42-year-old woman, was not hurt
