High profile Knoxville attorney Bruce Poston was killed in a car wreck Tuesday afternoon in West Knox County.
Officers say Poston, 66, was not wearing a seat belt and speed was a factor.
His car hit a tree and caught fire as he was driving on Northshore at Sandpiper.
Several bystanders ran to his car and attempted to put out the blaze with a fire extinguisher while two others pulled Poston from the car.
Poston was awaiting trial after an arrest in April on drug charges.
Calls to Poston's law firm were not answered.
