The incident occurred around 10:30 a.m., and Young was pronounced dead at the scene; no additional injuries were reported. The SUV driver remained at the site and cooperated with authorities, while Knoxville Police Department (KPD) investigators, crime scene technicians, and personnel from the Medical Examiner's Office conducted a thorough investigation.
