Woman and her dog killed in dramatic I-65 tractor trailer crash Thursday

WHITE HOUSE, Tenn. (WTVF) — A woman and her dog have died in the deadly crash that shut down parts of I-65 for hours Thursday morning.

The crash happened near the Highway 52 exit between Portland and White House.

Officials say two tractor trailers collided leading to a dramatic scene. The Cross Plains Fire Chief says a tractor trailer stopped onto the shoulder to deal with a flat tire when another tractor trailer struck it from behind.

The crash killed 59-year-old Vivian Kanash along with her pit bull.

We're told the second driver did not suffer injuries. The Tennessee Highway Patrol is leading this investigation.
