Tennessee Highway Patrol officials are investigating a fatal accident that happened around 9 p.m. Monday at the 56 mile marker on Interstate 75 in McMinn County.
THP spokesman Lt. John Harmon said one person was killed and another was seriously injured in a single car accident.
Harmon said the investigation is ongoing and the families of the victims have not been notified.
In two unrelated incidents near Monteagle, Tenn., Harmon said crews are working to clear away an jackknifed tractor trailer at the 131 mile marker on the eastbound side of Interstate 24, and another two-car crash at the 130 mile marker on the eastbound side.
