A driver has died following Friday night’s crash on I-24 East at the Haywood Lane ramp. The preliminary investigation indicates a Honda Accord was traveling east when, for reasons unknown, the vehicle lost control and is believed to have struck the front of a Ford Fusion, causing the Ford to lose control as well.

Both vehicles entered a yaw and swerved between different lanes before they crossed through the grass median at the top of the Haywood Lane entrance ramp.

The Honda ended up in front of the Ford with its driver’s side door against a rock wall. The Ford struck the Honda in the front engine compartment.

The driver of the Ford, Sofia Balk, 17, of Chesterfield, Missouri, was transported to Vanderbilt University Medical Center where she died.

The driver of the Honda and Balk’s two passengers were all transported to Vanderbilt University Medical Center with non-life threatening injuries.

There were no signs of impairment at the scene on part of either driver.
