16-YEAR-OLD CROSSVILLE JUVENILE KILLED AFTER HIGH SPEED PURSUIT EARLY TUESDAY

A 16-year-old Crossville male juvenile was killed early Tuesday morning when he lost control of his car fleeing a Tennessee Highway Patrol unit.  The report says the driver was heading south on 127 South near the entrance to the Cumberland Mountain State Park and was in a high-speed pursuit by the THP Patrol unit at 1:44 am.  The driver lost control of his 2016 Toyota Corolla on the curve, overcorrected and sped off the highway crashing into a tree. The car was split in half by the impact with part of the car coming to rest at the concrete Park entrance and the rest of the car coming to rest against a tree. The report stated the Critical Incident Response Team conducted a forensic mapping of the wreck.  The THP report does not say why the Trooper was pursuing the juvenile.
