Carroll County, TN – Centerville Assistant Police Chief Tim “Buck” Buchanan passed away on Sunday, when he succumbed to extensive injuries he suffered in an off-duty, head-on collision the day prior.
The fatal incident occurred at approximately 8:45 a.m. on Saturday, as Chief Buchanan and a passenger were traveling eastbound on Interstate 40 in his 2013 Ford F-150, the Tennessee Highway Patrol (THP) told WSMV.
As they neared mile marker 120, a westbound 2009 Nissan Maxima crashed into the wall of a bridge, then spun out of control and crossed over the median.
