James E. Cox Jr., 62, died this morning following a single-car crash on McCrory Lane. The preliminary investigation shows Cox was driving his white GMC Sierra truck when he veered off the right side of the roadway into an embankment.
The truck continued down the embankment and into a creek bed where it struck several large rocks and a small tree.
Cox was transported to Vanderbilt University Medical Center where he died.
There was no evidence of impairment at the scene.
