The daughter of country music singer Hank Williams Jr. was killed in a single-vehicle crash in Tennessee, according to a report.

Katherine Williams-Dunning, 27, was behind the wheel Saturday night of a 2007 Chevy Tahoe, driving on Highway 79 near Paris, when the vehicle crossed the median, news station WKRN reported.

The SUV, which had been towing a boat, rolled over northbound lanes before coming to a stop on the shoulder, the outlet reported.

Williams-Dunning died and her 29-year-old husband, Tyler Dunning, was airlifted to Vanderbilt University Medical Center for treatment, WKRN reported. His condition has not been released.

No information about what caused the crash has been released.

“This is an active investigation and more details will be made available later,” Tennessee Highway Patrol spokesman Lt. Brad Wilbanks said, according to The Paris Post-Intelligencer.

The victim’s father, Hank Williams Jr., is best known for the song, “All My Rowdy Friends Are Coming Over Tonight,” which he rewrote as a theme song for ESPN’s “Monday Night Football,” according to Fox News.
