A 16-year-old Warren County girl was killed and her 15-year-old sister was injured in a crash Wednesday morning on Highway 56 at Capshaw Road near the Warren County line.
Dead is Abygayle Elizabeth Jones. Her sister, Gabryelle Jones, was a passenger and was airlifted from the crash site to Erlanger Hospital.
According to the Tennessee Highway Patrol, Jones was traveling west on Capshaw Road in a 2013 Ford Fusion and pulled out onto Highway 56 into the path of a northbound 1998 Kenworth Truck-Tractor semi, driven by 72-year-old Henry Roberson, Jr who was pulling a flatbed trailer loaded with lumber. The front end of the truck collided with the left side (driver side) of the car. Both vehicles traveled a short distance north before the car ran off the southbound side of the roadway. The car then collided with a fence where it came to a final rest. The truck came to a final rest on the southbound lane of State Highway 56.
All three were wearing their seatbelts. Roberson was not injured.
The funeral for Jones will be Sunday November 10 at 2 p.m. at Gath Baptist Church and burial to follow in Asbury Cemetery in Warren County. High Funeral Home is in charge of the arrangements.
