When I got on I40 yesterday at Straw Plains (exit 398) I could see the plume of smoke from the wreck. Got off at 415 and went through Dandridge. Just an awful wreck.

Looked Post by: HerbTarlekVol on October 03, 2013, 05:31:07 EDT Turns out that the driver of the SUV is the younger brother of one of the Powell football coaches, and his passenger - the one who was killed - is the son of an acquaintance of mine here in Powell.
There was a lot omitted from the story, such as that the SUV was pulling a boat that exploded in to a million fiberglass pieces, and that the victim who was killed in the SUV's father and brother were following in another vehicle pulling a boat and witnessed the entire accident. Just a tragic situation all the way around. |
