Two separate weekend crashes in Murfreesboro leave one dead, several injured

MURFREESBORO, Tenn. — (December 22, 2025) Murfreesboro police are investigating two separate crashes that left one woman dead, and several others injured on Sunday, Dec. 21.

The first crash happened at 8:14 a.m. on Old Fort Parkway at the Interstate 24 overpass. Investigators said Deborah Hensel, 64, who was driving a 2013 Ford Escape, rear-ended a 2026 Ford F-350 that was stopped at a traffic light waiting to merge onto I-24. Hensel died at the scene.

The 27-year-old driver of the F-350 was taken to Ascension Saint Thomas Rutherford Hospital, treated, and released. The overpass and all I-24 ramps were closed for several hours during the investigation.

The second crash occurred at 2:21 p.m. on Veterans Parkway at Armstrong Valley Road. Investigators said the driver of a 2015 Toyota Corolla ran a red light and struck a 1998 Chevrolet 1500 pickup. The impact pushed the pickup into an SUV and a Jeep stopped at the light.

Two people in the pickup were flown to a hospital in two separate helicopters. They are in stable condition.

Both crashes are under investigation by the Murfreesboro Police Department Fatal Accident Crash Team (FACT).
