NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — One person was killed and several others were injured in a three-vehicle crash Sunday evening on Highway 70 South near Beverly Hills Drive.
According to investigators, 59-year-old David Elliott, of Cunningham, was driving a blue Ford F-150 eastbound when a white Ford F-150 traveling west veered off the right side of the road. Officials said the driver overcorrected, crossing into oncoming traffic and causing a broadside crash with Elliott’s truck.
A Dodge Ram pickup traveling behind Elliott then struck the rear of the white Ford F-150, creating a chain-reaction crash.
Elliott died at the scene.
Two passengers in his vehicle were taken to Vanderbilt University Medical Center with non-life-threatening injuries.
The driver of the white Ford F-150, identified as 48-year-old William Richards of White Bluff, was transported to Vanderbilt with critical injuries. Investigators said charges are anticipated.
The 20-year-old driver of the Dodge Ram was treated for minor injuries.
