A head-on collision south of Shelbyville on U.S. 231 late Monday afternoon killed the drivers of both vehicles. Samuel Prosser, 54, of Temple Ford Lane, and Stephanie Cameron, 37, of the Chestnut Ridge area, were dead at the scene after their vehicles collided about two miles from the city limits, Sgt. Monty Terry of the Tennessee Highway Patrol said.

The accident occurred about a half-mile south of the Snell Road-New Center Church Road intersection. The location is less than two miles from the school and occurred at about 4:30 p.m.

“The van (driven by Cameron) was southbound on 231,” Terry said. “The truck (driven by Prosser) was traveling northbound and came over into her lane and struck her head-on.” Drivers’ sides of both vehicles were smashed into the front seats. The reason Prosser veered across the center line is still undetermined but preliminary investigation found no signs of alcohol or drug use, Terry said. The accident is still under investigation..
