TELFORD, Tenn. (WJHL) — The Washington County Sheriff's Office (WCSO) said a 17-year-old boy died in a single-vehicle crash on Tuesday on Highway 11E in Jonesborough. A news release from the WCSO said deputies responded to reports of a single-vehicle crash on Tuesday at around 4 p.m. on Highway 11E (Andrew Johnson Highway) near the Jonesborough Flea Market. The WCSO said a 17-year-old male driver died, and two passengers, one of whom was another juvenile, were transported to an area hospital for non-life-threatening injuries.
