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.
Here’s a story offering a great example of how a common cause, and a little creativity, can “intersect” to improve quality of life. Our South Nashville reporter Patsy Montesinos shares how some neighbors decided to take action, following the tragic death of a 77-year-old in a hit-and-run along Antioch Pike earlier this year. See how they used “tactical urbanism” to make the area a little safer for all.
