A former Eagle Grove woman was killed in a two-vehicle accident near Knoxville, Tenn., Wednesday, February 28. Betty Janssen, 48, Sweetwater, Tenn., daughter of Robert and Viola Armstrong, Eagle Grove, died at the U. T. Hospital in Knoxville, Tenn., after the car she was driving was struck by a semi-tractor. The accident occurred as Janssen was southbound in the left lane of traffic on 1-75 south of Knoxville. A semi-tractor, pulling two other tractors piggy-back, was also southbound. The driver of the semi-tractor changed from the right lane into the left lane, striking the Janssen vehicle, causing Janssen to run into the median and her car turned over. Janssen was thrown from the vehicle. Charges of improper lane change have been filed against the driver of the semi-tractor. The accident was investigated by the Tennessee Highway Patrol.
