A Smithville woman has died following a single vehicle accident in Cannon County.
The Tennessee Highway patrol said the crash happened around 5 p.m. Saturday at the intersection of Stones River Road and Francis Lane.
Authorities have identified the deceased as 37-year-old Misty L. Reed.
A preliminary report states that Reed was traveling east on Stone River Road when she attempted to negotiate a curve, left the roadway, and went down an embankment. The impact of the crash ejected Reed and the vehicle came to a rest on top of the driver.
An ambulance transported Reed to Stones River Hospital where she was pronounced dead.
Authorities said Reed was not wearing a seat belt and that a safety restraint would have made a difference in the outcome of the crash.
