A tragic incident occurred on Highway 412 in Perry County on Tuesday morning, resulting in the loss of one life. According to the Tennessee Highway Patrol, Andrew Maxwell was operating a dump truck traveling eastbound when he was unable to successfully navigate a curve in the road. This failure led to the truck overturning, ultimately coming to a stop in the middle of the highway. Unfortunately, Maxwell was pronounced dead at the scene of the accident.
In a related event, a secondary collision took place shortly after the initial crash. This incident involved a driver named Samantha Sharp, who is 32 years old. As she attempted to avoid the overturned dump truck, her vehicle swerved, resulting in it rolling over and subsequently catching fire. Fortunately, the injuries sustained by Sharp were reported to be minor. The sequence of events highlights the dangers present on the roadways and the potential for tragic outcomes in such situations.
