HARNETT COUNTY, N.C. (WTVD) -- A Harnett County woman is facing numerous charges in connection with a deadly crash Saturday on Mccartan Road in Linden.

State Highway Patrol charged 40-year-old Goldie Marlene Marsh with two felonies and several misdemeanors tied to the crash that led to the death of her passenger, Timothy McLean.

Troopers say her car went off the road, crossed the center line and hit a ditch. 

McLean was pronounced dead at the scene, while Marsh allegedly ran away. 

She's now being held in the Harnett County Detention Center under no bond due to being charged while on pre-trial release for a prior offense.

Marsh also has a warrant out of Kentucky for ID theft, knowingly possessing a forged document, and receiving stolen goods.

Her first court appearance is set for Tuesday.
