A Smyrna resident was killed in a crash on Interstate 24 in Coffee County. The wreck involving two vehicles happened in the eastbound lanes near mile marker 99 around 1:15 a.m. Saturday morning.

Karlea A. Hedgepath, 24, of Smyrna, was killed in the Saturday morning crash. Hedgepath was the passenger in a pickup truck heading eastbound on I-24. Hedgepath was a past student at Holloway High School in Murfreesboro.

The driver of the pickup, 23-year-old Zachary T. Kilburn, sustained injuries and was flown to Erlanger Hospital in Chattanooga.

The vehicle was traveling at a high rate of speed when it attempted to change lanes from the left to the right. The pickup clipped a tractor trailer, then returned to the left lane and then lost control, crashing on the right hand shoulder.

Hedgepath was pronounced dead at Unity Medical Clinic in Manchester.

The Tennessee Highway Patrol reports that neither occupant of the pickup was wearing a safety belt.

The driver of the tractor trailer was not injured in the accident.

THP has not released an update on Kilburn's condition and criminal charges are pending in the case.
