Allard was driving an SUV south on U.S. 411 South when her vehicle was struck by a northbound pickup truck driven by David A. Kirkland.
Kirkland, 54, of Vonore, had crossed the center of the road just before the crash, according to witnesses and a THP preliminary crash report. Kirkland is currently facing two counts of vehicular homicide, two counts of vehicular assault and a DUI charge. He was also cited with reckless driving and failure to exercise due care on the road.
The report states Kirkland had not been drinking but was under the influence of drugs. The report also states Allard had been drinking.
Sherwood was the front seat passenger in the SUV, while Rebecca Kirkland was the front seat passenger in the pickup. A third passenger in the truck, 14-year-old Austin Kirkland, was injured, police said.
Two others in the SUV were also injured, police said. They were identified as 28-year-old Maryville resident Bret E. Welch and 31-year-old Alcoa resident Christopher W. Hagamon.
Staff at University of Tennessee Medical Center said Hagamon and David Kirkland were both in stable condition Wednesday, while Welch was serious. Hospital staff had no patient information available on Austin Kirkland.
