Jackson residents John McCutchen and Susan Hays died as a result of an automobile accident on Interstate 40 at Mile Marker 167, Saturday, near Dickson.

John, 77, and Susan, 73, were driving eastbound when a tractor trailer – traveling westbound – had a tire to blow out, which caused the vehicle to cross the center line and into the median.

“Jackson has suffered a great loss with the loss of John McCutchen and Susan Hays,” said Frank McMeen, president of the West Tennessee Healthcare Foundation, “Susan’s regional leadership in Rotary and The Rotary Student Exchange Program brought an international flavor to Jackson, as well as sharing our students with the world.

“John loved our city, and worked to make downtown a much better place as a past Executive Director of Jackson Downtown Development. What a tremendous loss to our community.”
