Driver involved in fatal wreck out of hospital

The condition of the driver involved in the fatal single-vehicle wreck on the 1682 bypass Wednesday morning has greatly improved.

Officials at Vanderbilt University Medical Center say 64-year old Bill Gibson of Greenville Road was released late in the day yesterday after receiving treatment for injuries sustained when he hit a patch of black ice and ran over a guard rail and down an embankment near the Greenville Road intersection.

Gibson’s wife, 62-year old Karen “Joyce” Gibson, was pronounced dead on the scene of the wreck, which happened around 7:40am.
