Hamilton County Sheriff’s investigators continue to look at an early Sunday morning wreck that killed a Baylor student.
Shipley Buckner died as a result of a crash at the 9600 block of Hixson Pike at 12:53 a.m. Sunday, according to sheriff’s spokeswoman Janice Atkinson.
The incident was a single-vehicle crash, she said, with “preliminary information showing that the driver of the 2002 GMC Denali lost control in the curve, hitting the guardrail and then a tree.”
The Denali struck the tree on the passenger side, she said.
The driver, Courtney Rhodes, 18, was transported to Erlanger hospital for injuries following the accident.
