THP identifies three killed in crash at U.S. 64 and Airport Road near Savannah

Three people were killed Sunday morning in a two vehicle crash at the recently redesigned intersection of U.S. 64 and Airport Road east of Savannah.

The Tennessee Highway Patrol identified Linda Faye Baker, 74, of Clifton, Tennessee, as the driver of the 2008 Chrysler 300 sedan that was involved and Daniel Wade Franks, 47, of Savannah, as the driver of the 2003 Chevrolet Silverado pickup truck. Both were reported killed, as was a 72-year-old passenger in the Chrysler, Roy Foster Baker, also of Clifton.

Citing the ongoing investigation, the Tennessee Highway Patrol’s preliminary report Sunday night has no information regarding direction of travel of the vehicles at the time of the crash, which is cited as 10:08 a.m.

The report says Franks and Roy Baker were not wearing seat belts. Linda Baker was wearing a seat belt.

The Tennessee Department of Transportation installed traffic signals at the redesigned intersection last October.
