Police in West Nashville, TN, Thursday afternoon, released additional details on a crash that took place Wednesday morning. The accident claimed the life of 17-year old Zoey Van Eaton, who was to have begun her senior year at the Nodaway Valley High School, in Greenfield, this fall.

Authorities say the teen was a passenger on a Harley Davidson motorcycle driven by her father, 49-year old Scott Van Eaton, of Fontanelle.

The driver of the SUV, 62-year old Betty Hunt, told police she could not avoid the collision. Zoey Eaton and her father were transported to Vanderbilt University Medical Center where Zoey Eaton was pronounced deceased. Her father was reported to be in critical but stable condition. Betty Hunt was not injured in the crash. Police say neither drugs nor alcohol appear to be a factor in the crash.
