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.
My friend and colleague Carrie Sharp had a lot of fun last week, on an adventure to a country more than three thousand miles away! She’s back now – sharing her Adventures in Iceland through stories, and incredible images of this remarkably beautiful and unique island nation (kudos to Chief Photographer Catherine Steward)! But did you know Nashville has something very important in common with Iceland? Tourism! Here, Carrie explains how a volcanic eruption decades ago helped save the country’s economy from collapse!
