57-year-old, Aimee Dixon, of Oak Ridge passed away shortly before midnight Thursday, September 15 after injuries she sustained in an accident that occured shortly after 7:20 am Thursday morning.

Reports indicate a 2010 Honda Accord, driven by 48-year-old Samantha Farmer of Oliver Springs, was traveling east on Highway 62 in Morgan County, between Coalfield and Oliver Springs, when her car left the roadway and struck a guard rail. Her vehicle then went into the westbound lane of traffic striking a 2010 Honda Fit driven by Dixon head on.  This caused Dixon to run off the roadway and down and embankment.  Then Kaitlyn McCarter, 30, driving a 2002 Toyota Camry struck Farmer’s vehicle before coming to an uncontrolled stop on the roadway.  Farmer was transported to the University of Tennessee Hospital via ambulance.  Dixon was also transported to a local hospital.  McCarter escaped with no injuries

Ms. Dixon was a 2nd grade teacher at Linden Elementary School in Oak Ridge.
