Knox teen killed in Anderson County wreck, charges pending against driver

Information from WYSH Radio

A 19-year-old Knoxville woman was killed in a single-vehicle accident early Tuesday morning in Anderson County, and now the driver of the car she was riding in is facing charges.

The Tennessee Highway Patrol reported that Justin Seeber, 23, of Clinton had been driving a 2006 Jaguar XT3 sedan north on Highway 25W shortly before 1 a.m. Tuesday with three passengers when the accident occurred. The THP report indicates that Seeber’s car veered off the roadway and hit a ditch before re-entering the road and coming to rest.

Amber Smith, 19, died in the accident and the other three occupants—Seeber, Tyler Galvin, and Jeremy Myers—were injured.

None of the car’s occupants was wearing their seatbelts, and the THP report indicates that had Smith been wearing hers, it may have saved her life.

Seeber was cited for driving on a revoked license and failure to exercise due care, and criminal charges are likely as the report indicates that Seeber and at least one of the passengers had been drinking before the wreck.
