A nurse at Family Medical Center was fatally injured in a two-vehicle collision in Liberty Friday night.
Tammy Renae Greco, 46, died from injuries suffered in the crash.
Four people were involved in the wreck, which took place when a 2015 Chevrolet Equinox driven by 44-year-old Daniel Greco collided with a 2009 Dodge Avenger driven by an unidentified 17-year-old female from Gordonsville.
According to the Tennessee Highway Patrol, Greco’s Equinox was traveling east on Highway 70 when the westbound 17-year-old’s car crossed through the east bound lanes, struck and bounced off the eastbound guardrail, and hit Greco’s car in the passenger side. The Dodge Avenger came to rest in the eastbound lane and Greco’s Chevy came to rest on the shoulder of the westbound lane.
While Daniel Greco was reportedly not injured, his wife, Tammy Greco, a passenger in the Dodge, was ejected from the vehicle. Their son Christian Greco, 24, was also injured in the crash, and the mother and son were taken to a landing zone near DeKalb West School by DeKalb EMS, then airlifted to Vanderbilt Medical Center, where Tammy Greco succumbed to her injuries.
The juvenile was cited for failure to exercise due care and taken by private vehicle to the hospital, where she was treated and released.
The crash was investigated by Trooper Chris Delong of the Tennessee Highway Patrol.
