I-24 Westbound at Exit 81 shut down Tuesday due to a deadly multi-vehicle crash.
According to the Tennessee Highway Patrol, a 19-year-old was killed in the crash.
THP states that Bianca Benford was traveling east in a Nissan Altima on I-24 when her vehicle crossed the median and entered the westbound lanes, hitting a Nissan Rogue and injuring the driver.
Both vehicles rested in the two westbound lanes.
The lanes reopened shortly after 8 a.m.
September 11, 2001 is a day most associate with terror and tragedy. Austin Pollack shares a story from that day about hope and persistence: the effort to save a little girl’s life – with an organ donation. The problem? The young patient was in Houston, and her life-saving liver here in Nashville. With the grounding of all civilian aircraft, how could it be done? “Nobody ever said this isn’t possible.”
