Chattanooga, TN (March 23, 2025) – A collision reported Friday morning on Market Street near West 14th Street left at least one person injured and temporarily disrupted travel through the downtown area.

On March 21, just after 8:30 a.m., the Hamilton County Sheriff's Office responded to a crash that took place along Market St. The incident happened near W 14th St, a heavily traveled section of Chattanooga. The details surrounding what led to the collision have not been confirmed by officials.

At least one individual was hurt in the crash. Medical teams treated the injured party at the scene and transported them to a local hospital for further evaluation. No information on the severity of the injuries has been made public.

The roadway was partially blocked while emergency personnel worked at the site, leading to brief traffic delays for morning commuters. Officers with the Hamilton County Sheriff's Office are continuing to investigate the events that caused the accident.

We hope those injured in this accident recover quickly.

Car Accidents in Tennessee

Tennessee continues to see high numbers of injury-related traffic incidents each year. In 2023, more than 40,000 crashes across the state resulted in injury, many of them taking place in urban areas like Chattanooga. With ongoing traffic growth and driver distractions, collisions remain an everyday concern across Tennessee roads. These incidents often leave victims dealing with pain, lost income, and long-term medical needs.

Following an injury crash, here are some challenges victims frequently face:

• Insurance Claim Delays: Navigating insurance after a crash can be frustrating. Delays, disputes over coverage, and low settlement offers are common tactics that leave victims without the resources they need right away. A delay in claim processing can also mean a delay in getting crucial medical treatment or vehicle repairs.
• Lingering Soft Tissue Injuries: These include sprains, strains, and muscle tears—injuries that often don't show up immediately. Victims may not feel the effects until days later, which can complicate treatment and claims if not documented quickly.
• Emotional and Mental Health Effects: Being in a crash—especially one that involves injuries—can trigger anxiety or post-accident fear. Victims might avoid driving or experience panic attacks, even long after the crash occurred.
• Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation: Many injured drivers or passengers require weeks or even months of physical therapy to restore mobility or reduce chronic pain. These treatments can be expensive and time-consuming, especially without strong insurance support.
