Knoxville police are looking for the driver of a gray Toyota and a semi truck who left the scene, according to a local8now.com report.

Police say an SUV swerved to avoid the Toyota when it tried to merged into traffic. The move caused the SUV to flip several times and ejected a passenger, killing the person.

Two infants and another adult were also thrown from the car and transported, the report said. The driver of the Ford was the only person in the car wearing a seat belt, according to police.
