Interstate 24 westbound at mile marker 95 near Murfreesboro Highway in Tennessee was shut down for some hours Thursday because of a deadly vehicle crash.
The Tennessee Highway Patrol says two passenger cars were involved in the crash. A 19-year-old Sebastien Tarin from Manchester and 65-year-old Stanley Peterson from Beechgrove died in the crash. A third person, 22-year-old Zachary Parsley from Manchester was injured.
Initial investigation shows a 2012 Ford Escape driven by Tarin was traveling east on Interstate 24 near mile marker 95 when it left the roadway and kept crossing the median entering the westbound lanes, striking Peterson’s 2015 Nissan Frontier head-on.
The crash was reported right before 11 a.m. Westbound traffic was being diverted to alternate routes while the interstate was shut down.
Emergency crews were attending the crash site. The NB highway 400 at Rutherford Dr. Left lane was blocked.
