Nineteen year old Amy Dean Ferguson, of Red Boiling Springs, was killed in a one vehicle accident this past weekend, when the truck she was riding in overturned in a Clay County ditch on Highway 52.

Ferguson was a passenger in the 1991 Chevy pick-up truck, driven by her boy friend Eric Sean Reece, also of Red Boiling Springs.

The young couple, parents to 11-month-old Chandler, had just dropped their baby off at a grandparent's house and were on their way to Hermitage Springs when Reece lost control of the truck. Ferguson, who was partially ejected, was pinned under the truck.

Reece, 22, who was also injured... in accident, was treated and released. Son Chandler Reece remains in the care of his father.

According to Mike Browning, Public Affairs Director of the Department of Safety, the results of a drug test that was requested by troopers and sent to the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation lab won't be forthcoming for several weeks.

"The request of a test doesn't necessarily indicate that there were drugs present," said Browning on Tuesday morning. "Troopers often make these requests."

Amy Ferguson graduated from Red Boiling Springs High School in 2008, where she was fifth in her class. She received numerous scholarships, including the Jett Williams Scholarship and a scholarship to Tennessee Tech in Cookeville. Amy was a cheerleader through junior high school and during her freshman and sophomore years.

She leaves behind many close friends and many wonderful memories of her vibrant life in Red Boiling Springs.

Amy Dean Ferguson was the daughter of Ronald and Pam Adams Ferguson of Red Boiling Springs. Complete obituary information appears on page A7 of this week's paper.
