UPDATE (1/31/17) UT Medical Center has confirmed that a third person has died following a vehicle crash in Blount County over the weekend.
Brianna Allard, 21, of Greenback, died of her injuries on Tuesday.
David Kirkland was driving the pickup truck that crossed the center line on Hwy. 411 and hit the Ford Explorer driven by Allard head-on. He survived the accident and is in stable condition at UT. Kirkland was charged with vehicular homicide, vehicular assault and driving while under the influence of drugs.
Two other people were killed in the crash. Rebecca Kirkland, the passenger in Kirkland's vehicle, and Matthew Sherwood, who was a passenger in Allard's car.
A 14-year-old passenger in Kirkland's vehicle was injured in the crash. Two other passengers in Allard's SUV were also injured.
According to the accident report, Driver David Kirkland, 54, of Vonore, was traveling north on U.S. Highway 411 when his car crossed the yellow line dividing the road. The car continued through the turn lane and into the southbound lane, where it collided with a car traveling south with four people inside.
The crash killed Rebecca Kirkland, 49, who was in the car that left its lane, and Matthew Sherwood, 28, who was a passenger in the car that was hit. The other four passengers were all injured in the crash.
Rebecca and David Kirkland were wearing a seatbelt, as was the other driver. None of the other passengers were, though the report suggests that seatbelts would not have made a difference in the opinion of the officer.
David Kirkland has been charged with reckless driving, 2 counts of vehicular homicide, 2 counts of vehicular assault and driving while under the influence of drugs.
