NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — A young woman is dead and two people are injured after a car crash on I-65 near Trinity Lane.

According to Metro Police, the collision took place at 2:15 a.m. on Sunday.

Landon Turner, 19, was driving a 2002 Honda Accord southbound on I-65 when he veered the vehicle off the right shoulder and struck the rear of a parked semi-truck.

Following the incident, Turner was transported to Vanderbilt University Medical Center where he is being treated for non-life-threatening injuries.

The front seat passenger in the Honda, an unidentified 20-year-old woman, died at the scene.

Early investigations show that Turner showed no signs of impairment and that he possibly fell asleep behind the wheel before the collision took place.
