A single car crash left one person dead and another injured early this morning on Interstate 57 in Williamson County, near milepost 55.
State Police say 41-year-old Jermaine Jackson from Chattanooga, Tennessee was driving south bound on Interstate 57 when he drifted to the right of the road. Jackson over corrected, lost control of the vehicle and struck the guard rail.

After the crash 14-year-old Navaeh Williams from Chattanooga, Tennessee was transported to Heartland Regional Hospital in Marion with non-life threatening injuries. The third passengar, 28-year-old Lytece Grinnage from Chattanooga, Tennessee reported no injuries.

Investigators say driver fatigue could be a possible cause of the crash.
