1 Dead, 2 Injured in 3-Car Crash on Highway 160

Sadly, yet another life was lost last week in a 3-car crash on Highway 160 in Blount County. The crash claimed the life of 19-year-old Rachel Lake of Warrior. Two others - including Lake's toddler who was riding as a passenger in her vehicle at the time of the crash - were injured in the accident. The deadly 18-mile stretch of highway, which has claimed 16 lives in the past 10 years, is set to be fit with guard rails and other upgrades as early as this summer. Many residents feel that the upgrades need to be implemented now, in order to prevent another death on this dangerous stretch of road.
