A three-vehicle collision claimed the life of a White County man Friday night on Highway 70. According to the Tennessee Highway Patrol, 25 year old Jeremy Vick lost his life after his 1997 Honda Civic struck the rear of a 2005 Ford Mustang driven by 23-year-old Joshua Smith of Morrison, and was then struck by an oncoming Mitsubishi Galant driven by  22-year-old Beth Holeton of Dowelltown. The accident, reported to central dispatch at 11:25 p.m., was investigated by Sergeant Eric McCormick of the THP and Trooper Johnny Farley of the THP Critical Incident Response Team (CIRT). Smith was reportedly traveling east when he slowed down to make a left turn into a parking lot. Vick, also eastbound behind the Mustang, was apparently unable to stop, and struck the Mustang in the left rear. Authorities said that the impact caused the car to turn sideways and enter the westbound lane, and into the path of Holeton's Mitsubishi. Holeton was also unable to stop, and struck Vick's Honda in the driver’s side doors. Holeton, her 20-year-old passenger Kara Schneider of Dowelltown, and Smith and his 20-year-old passenger James Barrett of Morrison were injured in the crash.
