Two vehicles were involved, a Honda Accord and gray SUV. The driver of the Accord was pronounced dead on the scene, while the driver of the SUV was going in the wrong direction.

Westbound Turner Turnpike was closed in the area for just over three hours. Traffic was being diverted at the Luther/Jones exit. Traffic was then moving south to Memorial and west to the metro, Rachel Calderon reports.

More information when it becomes available.
