MURFREESBORO, TN - A woman injured in a crash last Friday on South Rutherford Boulevard has died, according to Fatal Accident Crash Team (FACT) investigators.

Belinda Talley, 63, passed away on Monday (July 21) from injuries she sustained in the collision.

FACT investigators reported that Talley was driving a Nissan Altima and attempted to turn left onto South Rutherford Boulevard when she collided with a Dodge Ram 1500 driven by a 17-year-old male. Preliminary findings indicate that Talley failed to yield the right of way.

The crash left Talley trapped inside her vehicle. Murfreesboro Fire Rescue Department firefighters extricated her before she was flown by helicopter to the hospital.

Rutherford County Emergency Medical Services paramedics also transported the teen driver to the hospital, where he was treated for non-life-threatening injuries. The impact caused the pickup truck to veer into oncoming traffic, strike a tree, and crash into an unoccupied parked car at a nearby apartment complex.

FACT investigators are continuing their investigation into the crash.
