The bizarre car accident that led to her losing her life occurred after the brake drum of another car flew off and smashed into her vehicle. According to reports gathered by local news, the 20-year-old victim was on the way to drop off her younger brother at daycare when the accident occurred.

What Happened To Autumn McClure

On Wednesday, August 14, 2024, McClure left her home in Soddy Daisy, Tennessee, to never return.
