SCOTT COUNTY, Tenn. (WVLT) – A Scott County woman was killed Tuesday afternoon during a two vehicle wreck in Huntsville.
The Tennessee Highway Patrol said it happened at 12:40 p.m. on US Hwy. 27 at the intersection of State Hwy. 63.
According to the accident report, Edith Mae Marcum, 85 of Oneida was headed south on Hwy. 27 when she merged into the left lane and attempted to turn onto Hwy. 63.
As she made the turn, she pulled directly into the path of a tractor-trailer hauling automobiles that was headed north on Hwy. 27. The driver of the truck veered to the right side of the road but was unable to avoid colliding with Marcum’s pickup truck. He hit the right side of her vehicle, pushing it onto an embankment just off the east side of the roadway.
The driver of the tractor-trailer was injured in the wreck. Marcum died on the scene.
No charges are expected to be filed.
