UPDATE: October 7, 2019:
It is with earnest sorrow for his family and friends that the Department confirms the death of Mr. Yuniel Reyes Abreu. On Friday, October 4, Mr. Abreu succumbed to the injuries he sustained in the October 3 crash on I-65 in Franklin.
UPDATE: October 4, 2019:
All lanes re-opened at approximately 4:50, Thursday afternoon.
The driver of the semi, 25-year-old Yuniel Reyes Abreu, of Florida, remains in critical condition at Vanderbilt. The SUV originally thought to have been struck by the truck’s trailer was determined to have been struck by part of the truck’s load. Injuries related to that vehicle were minor.
A northbound vehicle was struck by flying debris and suffered minor damage — there were no injuries to anyone in that car.
The semi was pulling a flatbed trailer loaded with several steel rings and a large block of metal weighing about 10 tons.
Call Franklin Police if you witnessed the crash
or the events leading up to it: (615) 794-2513.
October 3, 2019: At 12:20 this afternoon emergency personnel responded to I-65 S at Murfreesboro Road after reports came in of a semi that had crashed and caught fire. Officers determined that the southbound semi, which was pulling a lightly-loaded flatbed, hit a roadside overpass support column before losing control and bursting into flames. The driver was able to escape, but was seriously burned. He was airlifted to the Vanderbilt University Medical Center where he is receiving treatment. A second vehicle was struck by the truck’s trailer during the crash but no one else was seriously injured.
As a precaution, the Murfreesboro Rd (96E) overpass was temporarily closed until a TDOT Bridge Inspector confirmed the bridge was safe for vehicles.
Current situation:
I-65 S traffic is being forced off at Murfreesboro Road, re-entering the Interstate via the Murfreesboro Rd/I-65 southbound entrance ramp. Cleanup is underway, but it has yet to be determined when the Interstate will re-open. Motorists are strongly advised to seek an I-65 alternate. Area alternates are also growing increasingly congested.
Updates will be made via @FranklinTNPD Twitter.
Detectives are hopeful that this sketch will help lead to the identification of a suspect who assaulted a woman on a Franklin walking trail.
Just after 8:30 a.m. on July 5, officers responded to Franklin’s Aspen Grove Park after the suspect approached the victim and grabbed her buttocks.
Franklin Police are seeking information about a light-skinned black male with a thin, scraggly beard, like the one in this TBI sketch.
A cash reward is being offered for information:

Franklin Police have poured through more than 200 tips but are still seeking information about the March 24 attack of a 16-year-old girl. At about 8:20 pm, the teen pulled over on I-65 S, between Cool Springs Boulevard and McEwen Drive after her tire went flat. As she stood outside of her vehicle, waiting for her dad who was on his way to help, the attacker depicted in this sketch accosted the teen from behind, pulling her down the hill and into the ditch between I-65 S and the back side of the Mallory Lane Sam’s Club.
The teenager was able to break free and escape an apparent sexual assault attempt. The suspect fled on foot into the I-65 woodline and remains at large. Police are looking for a tall white male with dingy brown teeth and a medium build. He is believed to be in his late 30s to early 40s. The suspect had a “dirty-blonde” beard, and looked like he had not shaven other areas of his face for several days. The suspect is believed to be about 6 feet tall. The teen was treated at the scene for minor injuries.
Franklin Police are asking anyone with information, any information, to come forward by calling (615) 794-2513. Callers wishing to remain anonymous can do so by calling Crime Stoppers at (615) 794-4000 or clicking here to submit an anonymous eTip.
