Two Bedford County men lost their lives Saturday night in a single-car crash on Fairfield Pike north of Shelbyville.

Dakota Bryson, 20, of Spring Street in Wartrace, and Joshua Adcock, 20, of Dow Drive in Shelbyville were killed, said a report filed by Trooper Barry Qualls of the Tennessee Highway Patrol.

Bryson was northbound near 2419 Fairfield Pike, about a mile north of Minkslide Road, the THP said.

“He was attempting to negotiate a right-hand curve,” the report said. “He then traveled off the left-hand side of the roadway, striking several trees and overturning multiple times. The vehicle came to rest on its top off the southbound shoulder of the roadway facing east.”

Adcock was riding in the front passenger seat of the 2009 Nissan Altima, Qualls’ report said.

A rear-seat passenger, Brandon Thompson, 21, of Warners Bridge Road, was injured.

Two vehicle crash

Both drivers were injured early Saturday night in a two-vehicle collision on Highway 64 West in front of the WBTS Community Center.

Rita Manire of Lewisburg, driver of the Volkswagen New Beetle, was eastbound and crossed the center line into the path of a westbound vehicle driven by Tiffany Daudelin of Culleoka, according to the Tennessee Highway Patrol. Daudelin’s vehicle ran into a ditch and overturned following impact.

Neither driver was seriously injured, THP Sgt. Will Spivy said.

Ironically, the Daudelin vehicle bore a bumper sticker saying “I Hope You Have A Nice Day.”
