The Tennessee Highway Patrol reported Monday alcohol was found in a vehicle involved in a fatal wreck over the weekend.
Kevin L. Pendergrass, 20, of 1615 Mountain View Lot 5 in Sevierville, and Rebecca M. Nuchols, 20, of 831 Black Oak Ridge Road in Seymour, died from the wreck, according to Master Trooper Arthur Galyon of the Tennessee Highway Patrol. Nuchols was 36 weeks pregnant, and the baby also died.
The accident occurred just after noon on Saturday when a 1994 Ford Explorer, driven by Pendergrass, crossed over the double-yellow line while traveling southbound on Upper Middle Creek Road into oncoming traffic and struck a 1994 GMC Sierra pick-up head-on, Galyon said.
"There was alcohol present in the Pendergrass vehicle and blood testing has been drawn," Galyon said. "They were all unrestrained" in the Explorer.
The surviving passenger in the Pendergrass vehicle was in critical condition at the University of Tennessee Medical Center Monday, according to authorities.
Kelly Santella, 20, of 3105 Clintwood Way No. 4 in Pigeon Forge, was injured in the wreck. She was in the rear seat.
The driver of the Sierra, Richie A. Bradley, 29, of 2209 Bradley Way in Sevierville, was treated and released from UTMC, Galyon said. A passenger in his truck, April J. Justus, 26, of 3010 Peacock Lane in Dandridge, was also released from UTMC with a broken arm and some facial lacerations.
Pendergrass was dead on arrival at Fort Sanders Sevier Medical Center, Galyon said. The others were flown to UTMC by Lifestar.
