Update on Maynardville Highway crash
A recent crash report in Knoxville, Tennessee provided updates on the tragic collision that occurred on Maynardville Highway, resulting in one fatality and three injuries. The deceased individual has been identified as Avery LeRue Eskridge, a 51-year-old resident of Knoxville.
