Charges are anticipated following a crash early Sunday morning on I-24 West at Briley Parkway that resulted in the death of a 23-year-old woman from Jackson. Olivia Taylor was a passenger in a Nissan Altima that appeared to be racing another vehicle when it overshot the exit ramp to Briley Parkway North and lost control, eventually coming to rest on the other side of the on-ramp.
Taylor, who was wearing her seatbelt, was transported to Vanderbilt University Medical Center, where she succumbed to her injuries. The driver of the Nissan, Tareeq Harris, 24, also from Jackson, was transported to Vanderbilt with critical injuries. Evidence of impairment was found at the scene.
