A 20-year-old Cookeville man died and three others suffered injuries during a crash on Highway 70 East in Cumberland County Thursday morning.
The Tennessee Highway Patrol identified the deceased driver as Shawn M. Kinnett. Authorities identified the injured passengers as 21-year-old Katelyn J. McCracken of Algood, 18-year-old Makenzi R. Key of Crossville and a 17-year-old male from Algood.
A THP report said the crash happened when Kinnett was negotiating a left-hand curve in a 2012 Nissan Altima. The report stated the vehicle went off the right-hand side of the road before crossing back across the highway and landing on an embankment.
The report indicates all four occupants may have been drinking when the accident occurred.
