GREENEVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- Police say a car involved in a fatal accident had been driving on the runway at the Greeneville-Greene County Municipal Airport.

Officers said the vehicle sped off the end of the runway and hurtled more than 150 feet, killing Cindy Lemaster, 27, of Limestone.

Police said the car apparently had entered the airport property Friday night through a gate at the rear of the Greeneville Aviation building.

According to The Greeneville Sun, the Tennessee Highway Patrol was asked to help investigate.
