Menisha Vinson, of Soddy-Daisy, was killed in a single-vehicle crash that four others escaped on Old Dayton Pike early Sunday, according to spokeswoman Officer Rebecca Royval.
About 3:15 a.m. police were dispatched to 6135 Old Dayton Pike where a vehicle left the road and entered a creek, Officer Royval said.
Four people got out of the vehicle, but Ms. Vinson, 31, of Barbee Road was trapped and was pronounced dead at the scene, she said.
According to police, the occupants of the vehicle had been in a fight at Rob’s on Dayton Boulevard and left in the 2004 Chevy Tahoe at a high rate of speed.
Evidence at the crash site indicated the driver did not attempt to brake and failed to negotiate a curve, leaving the road and landing in the creek bed below, Officer Royval said. None of the occupants were wearing seat belts, and Ms. Vinson was partially ejected, Officer Royval said.
No charges have been filed at this time, but alcohol and speed were both factors in the crash that is still under investigation, Officer Royval said.
