One person dead following high-speed crash in Tennessee

TENNESSEE — A man was killed and another injured early Wednesday morning after a vehicle fleeing a traffic stop crashed in Franklin, authorities said.

According to the Tennessee Highway Patrol, Williamson County deputies attempted to stop a 2023 Toyota Camry that was traveling southbound on Interstate 65 at speeds exceeding 90 miles per hour.

The driver continued west on Murfreesboro Road at a high rate of speed before losing control and crashing into a pole near South Margin Street.

A passenger in the vehicle, 42-year-old Kevin Ray House, was pronounced dead at the scene. The driver, identified as 20-year-old Zachary Chatman, was injured and transported to a local hospital for treatment.

“We are deeply saddened by this tragic incident,” said Williamson County Sheriff Jeff Hughes in a statement. “Our thoughts and prayers are with the family and loved ones of those affected.”

Chatman has been charged with vehicular homicide, evading arrest, and reckless driving. No further details have been released.
