LINCOLN CO., Tenn (WTVF) — 16-year-old driver Hanna Allen died in a single vehicle accident on Saturday in Lincoln County.

The Tennessee Highway Patrol says around 1:00 PM Saturday, she was headed East along Rambo Road with a 13-year-old passenger.

As the car was going through a curve, it went off the right side of the road and hit an embankment. That caused the car to spin, overturn, and slide across the road where it hit another embankment.

Allen was a sophomore and a cheerleader at Huntland High School. Her Funeral Services will be held at 2:00 p.m. on Wednesday, Jan. 31 in the Chapel of Moore-Cortner Funeral Home with Rev. Ross Peterson and Rev. George Sells officiating.

A GoFundMe has been set up to help with the expenses for the funeral, if you would like to help.

This is a developing story. NewsChannel5 will provide updates as they become available.

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!
