Identification of suspect in deadly Gulch collision

The police have identified George Chaney, 37, as the main suspect in their investigation of a fatal car accident that occurred in the Gulch area early on Friday morning. Authorities stated that Chaney was allegedly driving the jeep that collided with a taxicab transporting a man and a woman believed to be from Florida. Tragically, both passengers succumbed to their injuries, while the taxi driver was hospitalized with injuries deemed non-life-threatening. Officials revealed that Chaney has a lengthy criminal record, including serving two concurrent 12-year sentences for heroin-related offenses, as well as facing charges of auto theft, reckless driving, and evading arrest. Although Chaney is currently receiving medical treatment at Vanderbilt, he is expected to be taken into custody upon his release due to a state parole violation warrant. Additionally, some individuals reportedly fled the scene upon the arrival of law enforcement. The involvement of others in the crash remains uncertain.
