Harrison, TN (May 16, 2025) – Early Friday morning, a multi-vehicle accident caused disruptions and injuries on Highway 58 near the intersection with Bramlett Road and Greenwood Road in the Harrison area.

The crash occurred around 6:05 a.m. on May 16. Emergency services rushed to the scene following calls about a collision involving at least two vehicles along the busy stretch of roadway. Deputies with the Hamilton County Sheriff's Office were among the first to respond, securing the scene and assisting with the initial investigation.

Paramedics evaluated the injured at the location, and at least one person was taken to a nearby hospital for further medical care. The extent of their injuries has not been publicly released, though reports suggest non-life-threatening trauma. Traffic was slowed significantly in both directions as crews worked to clear the wreckage and ensure the safety of other drivers in the area.

Authorities continue to investigate the cause of the crash. It is not yet clear if any citations or charges will be filed. Motorists were urged to avoid the area during the morning commute, as the cleanup led to congestion around the accident site.

We hope those injured in this accident recover quickly.

Car Accidents in Tennessee

Tennessee sees thousands of motor vehicle accidents every year, many of which result in serious injuries or even loss of life. According to state data, distracted driving, impaired driving, and speeding are some of the most common contributing factors to these crashes. Every accident carries its own unique challenges and consequences, particularly when they happen during peak traffic hours.

When it comes to crash-related injuries, several aspects can affect long-term outcomes. Here are some of the most common types of injuries sustained in vehicle accidents:

• Whiplash and Neck Strain: Often seen in rear-end collisions, whiplash occurs when the head moves rapidly back and forth. This can lead to soft tissue damage, headaches, and chronic neck pain. Symptoms may not appear right away, which is why immediate medical attention is important.
• Broken Bones: The force of a crash can cause fractures in arms, legs, ribs, and other parts of the body. These injuries may require surgery and months of rehabilitation. In some cases, victims are left with permanent loss of mobility.
• Concussions and Head Injuries: Head trauma is another common result of car crashes. Even if there is no visible wound, the brain can be injured from impact. Concussions may lead to memory issues, dizziness, and emotional changes.
• Internal Injuries: Blunt force trauma can damage internal organs like the liver, spleen, or lungs. These injuries can be life-threatening if not treated quickly and may not show immediate symptoms.
• Spinal Cord Damage: High-impact crashes can cause herniated discs or even paralysis. These injuries often require extensive physical therapy and ongoing medical treatment.
• Cuts and Lacerations: Broken glass, metal fragments, or impact with hard surfaces can lead to deep cuts. These injuries can lead to scarring, infection, or nerve damage if not properly managed.
