Victim in Henderson County hit and run dies
HENDERSON COUNTY, Tenn. — According to family members, the 24-year-old woman found on the side of the road in Henderson County has died. THP said they are trying to figure out who left Brittany Simpson, 24, from Perry County, on the side of the road. Although right now it is ruled a hit and run, THP said they cannot rule out something else happened to Simpson. The Tennessee Highway Patrol says it happened off Highway 412 in Darden near Corinth road. They say just after 10 p.m., authorities arrived on the scene. Witnesses told WBBJ 7 Eyewitness News they saw troopers searching the grass near the accident for more than 3 hours. The THP said they are looking for two Hispanic males driving a truck. A possible vehicle description is a Ford four door pick-up truck, either gold or silver in color. The truck had dark tinted windows with decals on the back window. If you saw a white female in her early 20’s with two Hispanic males Thursday night, or have any other information about this accident, call Tennessee Highway Patrol at (731) 423-6635.
