Katherine Williams-Dunning was pronounced dead after her car crashed in Tennessee, according to a report from local TV station WKRN. She was driving a 2007 Chevrolet Tahoe when the incident took place at 7:45pm local time. The vehicle she was driving alongside her husband Tyler Dunning on Highway 79 in Henry County crossed the median and began rolling over. Her Tahoe, which was towing a boat, crossed into the northbound lanes and came to a stop on the shoulder of the road.
She was killed, according to troopers, while Tyler was flown to Vanderbilt University Medical Center with unspecified injuries. Her brother Sam Williams broke the news on his Facebook, writing “My sister and brother in law have been In a terrible accident. Please pray for them so hard! Katie Williams and Tyler Dunning.” Hollywood Life has reached out to Hank Jr’s rep for a comment.
