A two-vehicle accident on Highway 153 in Hixson today claimed the life of a 29-year-old woman.

Northbound lanes of Highway 153 in the vicinity of the Walmart remain closed in the wake of the wreck.

The Chattanooga Police Department reported that a maroon Chevrolet traveling south on Highway 153 apparently started to skid into the northbound lanes where it collided with a tractor trailer and then overturned.

A release from the police department said a 35-year-old man in the Chevrolet was taken to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries while the woman was killed.

The driver of the tractor trailer wasn’t injured, police said.
