Tennessee Car Crash Kills One And Injures Two Others
October 19, 2011
A late night crash earlier this week has left one person dead and two others seriously injured. News Channel 5 reports the accident occurred just before 10:00 PM Monday night on Hartsville Pike near Gallatin, Tennessee.
Investigators say that the driver of a maroon minivan drifted into the oncoming lane of traffic for an unknown reason and clipped the front, driver’s side corner of an older model pick up truck. The collision caused the truck to flip and roll into a ditch along the side of the road.
The driver of the truck was killed instantly in the crash. However, the passenger in the truck and the driver of the minivan survived. They were transported by LifeFlight helicopter to Vanderbilt Medical Center where they were listed in serious condition.
Although officials believe that drugs and alcohol did not play a part in the accident, they are performing toxicology tests on both drivers and are looking into whether fatigue may have been a contributing factor to the crash.
After a car crash, many people don’t know how to handle the fallout of the accident, such as damages and doctor bills.
