After clearing the scene of a single-vehicle crash Thursday that killed an elderly Tennessee woman on Interstate 65, firefighters found the body of her husband more than 970 feet south of the crash.

The man had left the vehicle and walked the edge of a creek bed where the Toyota sedan had fallen.

The couple later was identified as 75-year-old Claire R. Kahane and 78-year-old Charles S. Kahane of Nashville, said Norman Chaffins, spokesman for Kentucky State Police Post 4 in Elizabethtown.
