A wrong-way DUI crash killed Murfreesboro resident Andre Knox.
He was 28.
Murfreesboro police said Knox was driving on South Church Street when his car was struck head-on by a 2004 Jeep Wrangler, driven by suspected drunk driver Lora Allison Tenpenny, 23, a little before 7:30 p.m. last week.
Police said Tenpenny was traveling southbound in the northbound lane when the collision occurred. An off-duty Williamson County deputy reportedly called 911 to report a possible intoxicated driver and witnessed the crash.
Knox’s family is struggling with the sudden loss. His twin brother, Andrew, shared memories of their close relationship.
“He was the perfect brother,” Andrew said. “I’m going to miss him, and I love him. I really hate this for him.”
Andrew reflected on the strong bond they shared as twins.
“I spent every day of my life with my brother all the way up until I was 22 and he left campus.”
Now, dealing with the reality of his brother’s absence has been challenging.
“I get peace when I’m asleep, so I’ve been sleeping a lot.”
