FIVE PEOPLE WERE FOUND DEAD AT THE CLARKSVILLE SPEEDWAY TODAY FOLLOWING SOME SORT OF TRAGIC ACCIDENT POSSIBLY INVOLVING A GENERATOR.

THREE MEN AND TWO WOMEN WERE FOUND DEAD IN AN R-V LATE THIS MORNING, APPARENTLY DUE TO FUMES FROM A GASOLINE POWERED GENERATOR WHICH CREPT INTO THE VEHICLE WHERE THEY SLEPT.
