Madisonville Democrat, (Monroe Co. TN) May 3, 1967, Page1:
Highway 11 Accident Claims Two Lives---A young Monroe County man and a Philadelphia, Tenn., resident died as a result of injuries they received in a traffic accident north of Sweetwater last Saturday night. David A. Jenkins, 18, of Route 2, Sweetwater died Sunday at Sweetwater Hospital of his injuries and Mr. Charles Miller, 60, was dead on arrival at the hospital Saturday night.
The accident also resulted in injuries to two passengers in the car driven by Jenkins. Rodney Almert Martin, 19, son of Judge and Mrs. Albert Martin, received head and face lacerations, and Terry Lavon Rushing, 19, son of Mr. & Mrs. Dovie Rushing of Sweetwater, suffered a broken leg.
The accident happened on U.S. 11 near the Jack Bivens farm. Trooper Edsel Burris, who investigated the accident, said that Jenkins was apparently trying to pass a third vehicle when the collision with a pickup driven by Miller occurred. Miller was driving his pickup in a northerly direction and Jenkins was coming south, toward Sweetwater.
The collision happened at approximately 11:30 p.m.
David was the son of Mr. & Mrs. J.R. Jenkins and formerly resided in Madisonville. He is a graduate of McMinn County High School and was employed by the White Store in Sweetwater.”
