Two people have been killed in a fatal crash early this morning on Interstate 57.

 

It happened near mile marker 85 in Jefferson County. State Police say Clifford Foster of Knoxville, Tennessee, was driving north on Interstate 57 when he swerved to avoid a deer, hit the guardrail and then lost control and rolled.

 

Two passengers in Foster’s vehicle – 33 year old Kimberly Martin and 31 year old Sherrie R. Webber – both of Knoxville – died. Two other passengers and Foster were taken to the hospital with injuries.

 

The crash remains under investigation.
