PLEASANT VIEW, Tenn. (WKRN) – A young soldier based out of Fort Campbell was killed after he was hit on a Pleasant View highway early Saturday morning.
Investigators say the accident happened around 4 a.m. when Austin McGrough walked into the middle of Highway 41A and was hit by a BMW driven by an 18-year-old girl.
Cheatham County Detective Jeff Landis said the young driver had no way to avoid the collision.
According to Det. Landis, McGrough had been snorting Percocet and drinking grain alcohol after having his wisdom teeth removed a few days prior.
He and four other soldiers reportedly left Fort Campbell on Friday and were staying at a home on Highway 41A.
