A Farragut High School senior was killed in a head-on crash in South Knox County over the weekend, according to the Tennessee Highway Patrol.
Taylor Marie Corum, 18, was headed west on W. Governor John Sevier Highway near Circle Oak Drive shortly after 8 a.m. Saturday when her 2016 Honda Accord veered into oncoming traffic, a THP incident report states.
Corum's vehicle struck a commercial truck driven by 53-year-old Luther Manns, of Maryville, running both vehicles off the roadway, according to the report.
Corum was killed. Manns was uninjured. Both drivers were wearing seat belts, the report reads. No other occupants were in either vehicle.
Blood tests for drug and alcohol use have been requested on both drivers, as required by state law in fatal crashes.
According to her obituary, Corum volunteered at East Tennessee Children's Hospital, tutored special needs students at Farragut and was vice president of the Spanish Club.
On Sunday, the Farragut High School men's' soccer team tweeted that they will dedicate their home game at 7:30 p.m. on Friday against Cookeville High School to Corum.
The team's tweet said she was a "wonderful girl and loved by many."
On Monday, a statement from Farragut High School Principal Stephanie Thompson echoed the soccer team's tweet.
"Taylor was an exceptional student at Farragut High School, deeply loved by her teachers and fellow students. She was very excited about graduation, talking about it often. Taylor had been accepted to the University of Tennessee; however, she was still exploring opportunities at Wake Forest and Belmont (universities)," Thompson said in an email.
"Her sudden passing has been a shock to us all, and we are coming together to provide students and families the needed resources to cope and heal from this devastating news."
A celebration of Corum's life is planned for 5 -8 p.m. Wednesday at Click Funeral Home Farragut Chapel.
