TWO DEAD AFTER MULTI-VEHICLE ACCIDENT IN POWELL

The Tennessee Highway Patrol says two people died following a multi-vehicle crash in Powell yesterday. The accident involved three vehicles and a motorcycle. Troopers say the motorcycle operated by 50-year-old Mark Moore of Knoxville was traveling south on Emory Road south of Bishop Lane when he was hit by a vehicle driven by 47-year-old Michael Robert Robinson of Knoxville. Robinson then struck a Kia Soul operated by 49-year-old Wendy Blair of Knoxville. That sent Blairโ€™s vehicle into a Ford F-150 driven by 50-year-old John Blair of Knoxville. Moore and a passenger on the motorcycle, 49-year-old Kimberly Foster of Knoxville died in the accident. Wendy Blair was taken to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries. The Tennessee Highway Patrol charged Robinson with two counts of vehicular homicide. According to the Knox County Sheriffโ€™s Department jail inmate website, Robinson is additionally charged with possession of a firearm while under the influence. The accident is still under investigation.
