A Dandridge man was killed in a single-vehicle accident Saturday morning on a curvy section of Highway 160 near Centerview School.
Tennessee Highway Patrol Trooper Todd Loveday reported that Robert L. Stokely , 20, Indian Creek Road, Dandridge, was dead at the scene of the 5 a.m. crash.
Trooper Loveday reported that the curvy roadway was made even more dangerous by what an initial investigation indicated may have been a fatal combination of alcohol and excessive speed.
Trooper Loveday reported that Stokely was the passenger in a 1995 Pontiac being driven southbound on Highway 160 by Edward Vick, 26, of the Bybee community.
Trooper Loveday reported that the Vick vehicle left the roadway in a dangerous s-curve near Centerview School and traveled into a field.
The vehicle rolled at least three times and came to rest more than 200 feet from where it left the roadway.
Trooper Loveday reported that Stokely was dead on the scene while Vick and two other passengers were transported to the emergency room of Baptist Hospital of Cocke County by Quality Care Ambulance Service where they were treated and released.
Trooper Loveday said that all three survivors of the crash were wearing seatbelts. He said he had not yet determined whether Stokely was wearing a safety device but speculated that a seatbelt would probably not have helped in his case.
Trooper Loveday reported that he charged Vick with driving under the influence at the scene of the crash. After Vick was released from the hospital, Trooper Loveday also charged him with one count of vehicular homicide and two counts of reckless endangerment.
Manes Funeral Home is in charge. The funeral will be Monday at 2 p.m. at Resthaven Memorial Gardens.
