CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — Two teenagers are dead and another is injured after a crash involving one vehicle along Interstate 24 in Clarksville early Sunday morning.

The Clarksville Police Department reported the incident happened just after 1:15 a.m. on Sunday, Dec. 15 in the eastbound lanes of I-24 near mile marker 3.

According to Tennessee Highway Patrol (THP), a 2017 Buick Lacrosse was heading eastbound on I-24 when it ran off the right side of the road and overturned.
