A deadly crash on Interstate 75 claimed one person’s life and seriously injured three others on Thursday afternoon.
The crash happened at mm 334, just south of the Walnut Avenue exit.
A pickup truck, semi and landscaping truck were involved in the crash.
Officials closed the southbound lanes of the roadway so a Lifeforce helicopter could safely land.
The names of the drivers involved have not been released.
From NewsChannel 9…
A man on trial for murder in Bradley County says his actions were “purely defensive.”
Police say Mark Treuchet set out to shoot and kill a fugitive that lead police on a high speed chase earlier that day in September 2016.
But Thursday, Treuchet took the stand in his own defense.
Treuchet described the moments before the shooting. He said, “I looked him right straight in the eye, and he was gritting his teeth and just cussing through his teeth and spitting.”
Police say Jeremy Headley was on the run.
Treuchet said he spotted Headley, and when he asked Headley how he was doing and advised him he couldn’t be down there, Headley turned and started walking towards him, cursing. He said Headley said “you’ll go before I go”, and that’s when Treuchet was scared for his life and did what he had to do. Treuchet said he protected himself.
Police say he fired the shots that killed Headley.
Court is scheduled to resume at 8:30 this morning with closing statements. Then, the jury will get the case.
