VERGNE, TN (WSMV) -An early morning crash on Interstate 24 in La Vergne took the life of a teenager early Sunday morning.

 

The wreck happened at about 2:30 a.m. near the Waldron Road exit.

 

Troopers identified Daniel Winters, 16, as the victim. Winters attended Blackman High School in Murfreesboro, according to friends and students.

 

An incident report listed Winters as the passenger in the car that wrecked Sunday morning. Investigators said the driver, Michael Brobeck, 18, lost control of the vehicle while heading east. 

 

The car sustained extensive damage when it hit a rock wall, eventually overturning. Family members said Winters was transported to Vanderbilt University Medical Center, where he passed away as a result of his injuries.

 

Brobeck, who was hurt, was also taken to a nearby hospital.

 

Neither boy was wearing a seat belt, according to information provided by the Tennessee Highway Patrol. The report indicates it does not appear alcohol played a factor in the crash, but tests will determine whether drugs played a role.

 

Criminal charges are pending for Brobeck, according to a THP spokesman. 

 

A Go Fund Me account has been set up in Winters' honor. The money will help pay for funeral expenses.

 

The page states Winters leaves behind four siblings, as well as a stepbrother and stepsister. Hours before his death, the teen had qualified for a state wrestling tournament. 

 

"[Daniel] is so very loved by his family so much, but also by his Blackman wrestling family - teammates, coaches and all who knew him," the page reads.

 

Additional grief counselors will visit Blackman High School on Monday to assist students and faculty, according to Rutherford County administrators.

    • They’ve both gotten worse. I’ve seen enough games to know that. 
    • The only two transfers that Bearden has gotten that went on to play college football were a defensive back from Karnes, who transferred here way before the new coaching staff got here, and a running back from Carter, who went on to play at Maryville College. Both players received those offers while at Bearden, and both players got a diploma from Bearden High School. Therefore, they are Bearden kids, and you can’t do anything about that.   The transfer from Seymour didn’t win the job, what do you expect two quarterbacks to start at the same time? He played great on JV when he could stay healthy, and when he came in on varsity, he did great. The quarterback position is definitely going to be in good hands when the current starting quarterback leaves, but until then, they’re just going to be battling it out like every good quarterback competition does. The current starting quarterback has his flaws, and that is in the pass game, but what he doesn’t have flaws is running and scrambling, and if you go back and watch any game, which I’m sure you didn’t watch any, we used him very often, and when we needed a deep ball, we brought in the transfer from Seymour. The starting quarterback last year will be a senior this year, and the Seymour transfer will be a junior, so the Seymour transfer is definitely going to get his spotlight. He may even win the job this year. Football isn’t about who the newspaper thinks is the best kid. The best kid in the position will win the starting job, and I trust the coaching staff more than a newspaper or article to pick my starting QB.
    • I mean, we’ve only gotten two transfers that went on to play college football, one who went to UT Martin came his second semester junior year before the new coaching staff was here, and the other one went on to play at Maryville College, in which I don’t believe he had any interest prior to transferring.
    • An FYI: To see how an opponent has done against another opponent since 2001- go to the game by clicking on one of the teams. Click the G beside the game. For example, Milan: The info will show you the previous matchups and other info.
    • All these college signees went yo other schools for 3 years, were getting college offers then transferred to Bearden. It’s not like this staff did much to develop them.    The BBall coaches son and the Seymour transfer were some of the most talented QBs in the region, and you guys developed them into QBs who might complete one pass a game.
