Woman Killed in Single-Vehicle Crash on Clarksville Highway

The woman killed in Saturday's 8:30 p.m. single-vehicle crash in the 4900 block of Clarksville Highway is identified as Skylar Scott, 32, of Whites Creek.

The preliminary investigation shows that Scott was driving a Nissan Murano north on Clarksville Highway when she lost control of the SUV which ran off the roadway and struck an embankment. The vehicle overturned several times. Scott was ejected. Her passenger, who was not seriously injured, reported that he had asked her to slow down prior to the crash. Scott was transported to Skyline Medical Center where she died.

Toxicology testing will be conducted to determine whether impairment was a factor in this fatal crash. Scott and her passenger were not wearing seat belts.
