According to WSMV Nashville, two Tennessee women are in critical condition after a head-on car collision in Missouri on August 1, 2012. The women, ages 22 and 26, were driving in a car that was struck by a wrong-way driver on Interstate 435. Both women were taken to the hospital. While the 22-year-old woman’s condition seems to be improving, the 26-year-old woman’s condition is described as extremely critical. State troopers conducted tests to determine whether the wrong-way driver was under the influence of alcohol at the time of the car wreck and are waiting on the results.
According to WSMV Nashville, one teenager died and four teenagers were injured in a Tennessee single-car accident on July 30, 2012. The car accident occurred in Lawrence County, Tennessee. At the time of the accident, all injured teens were riding in the same pickup truck. While attempting to turn onto Route 20 in Lawrence County, the driver ran through a stop sign and could not successfully make the turn. Before ultimately coming to a stop, the truck crashed into two trees. Tennessee Highway Patrol officials believe excessive speed caused the accident.
According to News Channel 5 Nashville, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (“FMCSA”) has ordered a Tennessee trucking company to cease all trucking operations immediately for failing to follow federal regulations. The company is Three Angel Farms, a company that transports animals such as horses on Tennessee highways. This decision came after the company violated multiple trucking regulations. The company hired drivers without commercial trucking licenses, failed to subject drivers to adequate drug tests, and failed to properly maintain its trucks. The FMCSA described the company as an “imminent hazard to public safety."
According to WKRN Nashville, three people were injured when a semi-truck rear-ended a private passenger vehicle in Franklin, Tennessee, on July 31, 2012. The accident occurred on Interstate 65 near mile marker 67. While traveling on Interstate 65 and making its way toward an exit ramp, the semi-truck crashed into the private passenger vehicle from behind. Two of the injured victims were taken to Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville, Tennessee, in critical condition. At this time, it is not known where the third injured victim was taken.
