Two killed in Hardin Valley car crash
Two people were found dead Wednesday morning inside an overturned truck, a Knox County Sheriff's Office spokesperson said in a press release.
Just before 10 a.m., officers responded to reports of a vehicle in a creek off Solway Road at Greystone Summit Drive in the Hardin Valley neighborhood, the release stated.
Officers discovered a pickup truck overturned down an embankment in the creek. Both occupants in the vehicle were dead. Officers estimate the single-vehicle crash occurred sometime after 9:30 p.m. Tuesday but the crash was noticed the following morning by a passer-by who called 911.
The names are being withheld pending notification of next of kin, the release stated. The cause of the crash has not yet been determined.
