A Tennessee Man Charged After Fatal Three-Vehicle Crash in Montgomery
The Montgomery community is grappling with the aftermath of a tragic collision that claimed the life of a local man and left another behind bars facing serious charges. According to a report published by WSFA 12 News on December 12, 2025, a Tennessee man has been arrested in connection with a fatal three-vehicle crash that occurred Wednesday evening in Montgomery.
The Montgomery Police Department (MPD) responded to the scene shortly after 8 p.m., following reports of a major crash at the intersection of East Fairview Avenue and Norman Bridge Road. When officers arrived, they found multiple vehicles involved and several individuals in need of urgent medical attention.
One of the drivers, 54-year-old Frederick Hill of Montgomery, sustained life-threatening injuries in the collision. Emergency personnel rushed him to a nearby hospital, but despite exhaustive efforts to save him, Hill tragically succumbed to his injuries and was pronounced dead.
As investigators began piecing together the events that led to the devastating impact, attention quickly turned to one of the drivers involved—Cameron Wilhite of Memphis, Tennessee. After an initial investigation, MPD determined that Wilhite’s actions played a significant role in causing the fatal crash. He was subsequently arrested and is now facing a charge of reckless murder, a serious offense that reflects the severity of the incident and its consequences.
The crash has left Hill’s family, friends, and the wider Montgomery community in deep mourning, struggling to process the loss of a man whose life was abruptly taken. Meanwhile, the legal process for Wilhite will continue as authorities work to uncover the full circumstances surrounding the collision.
This tragic event stands as yet another painful reminder of how quickly lives can be altered by a single moment on the road. As MPD continues its investigation, the community looks toward justice for Frederick Hill and healing for all those impacted by the heartbreaking incident.
