FRIDAY NIGHT CRASH IN KINGSPORT LEAVES ONE WOMAN DEAD

One person is dead after a fatal crash in Kingsport on Friday night. The Kingsport Police Department reports that the crash happened on Konnarock Road at 8:30 p.m. on Friday. Melinda Goodson was driving her Mercedes-Benz eastbound approaching Warpath Drive with Leslie Ashmore was a passenger in the car. Wilma Massengill was driving westbound alone in a Toyota Corolla on Warpath Drive attempting a right turn onto Konnarock Road. Massengill failed to properly negotiate the turn, as her Toyota crossed the center line into the direct path of the Mercedes colliding head-on. Massengill was killed in the crash, while Goodson sustained injuries, but Ashmore was not injured. A crash reconstruction team along with the Kingsport Police Department's Traffic Unit responded to the scene. The traffic unit is still conducting an investigation on the crash, but Goodson has been cited, not for anything she did to contribute to the crash, but for not having car insurance.
