Red Bank, TN (April 25, 2025) – Early Thursday morning, a crash on Ely Road near Delashmitt Road in the Red Bank area led to at least one person suffering injuries.

Car Accidents in Tennessee

Each year, thousands of crashes occur on Tennessee roadways, ranging from minor fender-benders to more serious injury-causing incidents. According to the Tennessee Department of Safety, over 190,000 crashes were reported statewide in a recent year. Among those, a significant number resulted in injuries that required emergency care or long-term treatment. Human factors like distracted driving, speeding, and failure to yield remain major contributors to these events.

Understanding how these collisions can impact individuals, let's look at a few important points related to common injuries from car accidents:

• Whiplash and Neck Injuries: One of the most common injuries in car crashes, whiplash happens when the neck is suddenly jolted back and forth. It can lead to lasting discomfort and may require physical therapy or long-term care.
• Back Injuries: Spinal damage or herniated discs often occur due to the force of a collision. Back injuries can significantly impact mobility and daily function, with some cases leading to chronic pain.
• Concussions and Head Trauma: Even when airbags deploy, drivers and passengers may suffer concussions. In some cases, these head injuries have long-term effects on cognition, mood, and coordination.
• Broken Bones: The impact of a crash can lead to fractures, especially in the arms, legs, or ribs. Depending on the severity, recovery may include surgery or months of rehabilitation.
• Internal Injuries: Not all injuries are immediately visible. Blunt-force trauma from a seatbelt or dashboard can result in internal bleeding, which can be life-threatening without prompt medical care.
