Early this morning, tragedy struck South Memphis with a fatal collision involving a semi-trailer. The incident, which occurred just after 6 a.m. in the 2000 block of Dunn Avenue, claimed the life of one individual, according to reports from local authorities.
Memphis Police were called to the scene of the two-vehicle accident, where they discovered one victim who was pronounced dead at the spot. The congestion caused by the crash led to closures, with FOX13 Memphis detailing that all lanes of traffic on Dunn Avenue between Airways and Castalia were shut down, and were expected to remain closed for an undetermined period of time.
The identity of the deceased has not been released, and the details surrounding the crash are still emerging as police continue with their investigation. Authorities are urging anyone with information about the accident to come forward, suggesting that they reach out to CrimeStoppers. "This is still an ongoing investigation," WREG reports.
