Hampton, TN – March 19, 2023, one person was injured due to an accident where an 18-wheeler hit a pickup on Highway 19E.
Tennessee Highway Patrol officials said they were called to the area of the crash early Sunday morning. It appears a pickup going northbound on US Highway 19E broke down and moved “partially out of the roadway.” The vehicle had its emergency lights on, authorities said. Approaching it, an 18-wheeler allegedly failed to exercise due care and crashed into the pickup. That caused the vehicle to hit the pickup driver, who was outside working on the pickup.
The pickup driver was taken from the scene with unspecified injuries. No one else was hurt. It appears that authorities cited the tractor-trailer.
