(CNN) -- Jacqueline Mars, a co-owner of the candy empire of the same name, was involved in a car crash Friday near her home in Northern Virginia that killed an 86-year-old woman. Mars was driving alone in her 2004 Porsche SUV when "for unknown reasons the vehicle crossed the center line and struck an eastbound 2013 Chrysler minivan occupied by six people," according to the Loudoun County Sheriff's Office. One of those six people, Irene Ellisor of Huntsville, Texas, died at the scene. Authorities say she was not wearing her seat belt. Mars, 73, was hospitalized for her injuries and is now recuperating at home, according to her personal spokesman.
