Carlos Castillo Vasquez Obituary, Death –  It is with profound sadness that we announce the untimely passing of Carlos Castillo-Vasquez, a 27-year-old resident of Birmingham, Alabama, who lost his life in a tragic wrong-way fatal crash on January 28, 2024. The Knoxville Police Department has officially identified Carlos as the victim of the heartbreaking incident that occurred on Interstate 640 East near Western Avenue. The accident unfolded in the early hours of that fateful morning at around 3 a.m.

Multiple vehicles were involved in a collision that took place on the eastbound lanes of I-640. Minutes prior to the crash, vigilant officers had been alerted to a car traveling west in the eastbound lanes, attempting to avert a potential disaster. Unfortunately, Carlos Castillo-Vasquez’s sedan became entangled in the chain of events, colliding head-on with a pickup truck before being struck by another vehicle. Tragically, Carlos Castillo-Vasquez succumbed to his injuries and was pronounced dead at the scene, marking the end of a promising young life.

The driver and passenger of the pickup truck involved in the collision were fortunate to survive with non-life-threatening injuries and were promptly transported to the hospital for medical attention. Carlos was known for his vibrant spirit, zest for life, and the warmth he brought to those around him. His friends and family are left to mourn the loss of a beloved son, brother, and friend whose absence will be deeply felt in the community.
