A mother of two children died Sunday after a fire truck and car crashed head-on in Cheatham County.
The Tennessee Highway Patrol reported it happened on Sams Creek Road in Kingston Springs around 4:15 p.m.
The fire truck was heading north while responding to a call when a 1989 Ford Mustang heading south crossed the center line of traffic.
The two vehicles collided head-on, causing the fire engine to come to a rest on top of the Mustang's hood.
The passenger of the Mustang, identified as 26-year-old mother-of-two Rachel Davenport, was killed in the crash.
The driver, 27-year-old James Davenport, was injured. His condition was not immediately known, neither was his relation to Rachel.
THP said the driver of the fire engine was uninjured but the passenger, 40-year-old Bret Miles of Smyrna, was. The extent of his injuries has yet to be released.
Officials said testing found no sign of alcohol or drugs on anyone's part.
The investigation is ongoing. Criminal charges are pending.
A GoFundMe was set up in Rachel Davenport's honor to help the family with burial costs. The memorial fund says she had no benefits or life insurance to assist with such an unforeseen tragic event.
