Dixon, 27, was driving on Interstate 24 about 40 miles southeast of Nashville when the crash happened about 12:45 a.m. Saturday, according to the Nashville Tennessean newspaper. Speed is believed to be the cause of the crash. No drugs or alcohol are thought to have been involved.
According to the newspaper, the Tennessee Highway Patrol said that Dixon was driving a Kia Rio LX at a high speed when he left the freeway and struck with a tree.
