Troopers said 58-year-old Delroy Gouldbourne of Rock Hill, SC was operating a semi truck, pulling a loaded box trailer. According to police, Gouldbourne had exited I-24 at the 65 mile marker and was attempting to cross US 68-80 and re-enter I-24.
State police said Gouldbourne failed to yield the right of way at the stop sign and continued going straight across US 68-80. A car driven by 20-year-old Amber N. Ryan of Cadiz was traveling east on US 68-80. Ryan was unable to stop in time and collided with the front of the semi trailer.
According to troopers, Ryan was not wearing a seat belt at the time of the crash and was flown to Skyline Medical Center in Nashville due to her injuries. Gouldbourne and his passenger, 61-year-old Roberta W. Gouldbourne, of Charlotte, NC, were not injured in the collision.
Gouldbourne was issued a citation for hours of service for drivers and parts needed for safe operation, due to a flat inner tire. He was placed out of service for 10 hours due to being over his driving hour limit.
