A Tennessee Highway Patrol dispatcher identified the victim as Robert D. Tanner, 49, of Mosheim. According to a report filed by Trooper Bobby Bullington, Tanner was driving a 1999 Freightliner tractor-trailer loaded with auto parts north on U.S. 25E near its intersection with Kincaid Farm Road in the Thorn Hill community when the fatal accident occurred about 3:15 a.m. Monday.
