1 Killed, 2 Injured In Wreck On Barton Avenue
posted March 23, 2007

One person was killed and two others injured in a two-vehicle wreck on Barton Avenue in North Chattanooga on Friday afternoon.

The fatal wreck was at the intersection of Barton and Dugdale Street.

Investigators talked with witnesses who said a yellow Ford Mustang was traveling at a high rate of speed south on Barton Avenue. The vehicle went out of control around a curve, crossed the double yellow line and struck a Toyota Fourrunner traveling north on Barton Avenue.

The driver of the Ford Mustang was pronounced dead on the scene. The passenger in the Mustang was transported to Erlanger Medical Center with what appears to be non life threatening injuries.

Scary. I detoured around when I saw the traffic backing up this afternoon. I drive through there twice each day with my two travelling companions in the back seat. Gee, and I was concerned about running late this afternoon.

My heart goes out to the driver of the toyota...only had his license for 3 hours. What a way to start your driving career! ...and the family of the driver of the mustang. I have no words, other than they need lots of positive thoughts/prayers.
