MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Memphis Police Department (MPD) responded to two deadly accidents in the Liberty Park area at the same intersection just four hours apart late Wednesday night and early Thursday morning.
Liberty Park has been hosting a week-long motorcycle rally, causing traffic in the area to be extremely busy.
According to MPD, officers responded to a hit-and-run accident involving a Chrysler 300 and two golf carts at the intersection of Early Maxwell and Southern Ave. at 12:51 a.m.
The Chrysler 300 crashed into two golf carts at the intersection, and the golf carts caught fire. The golf carts were completely burned and damaged as a result of the accident. Three men were pronounced dead at the scene, and one man was transported to Regional One Hospital in non-critical condition.
MPD said the driver and three passengers in the Chrysler 300 fled the scene, and MPD is now looking for the suspects.
