Driver Injured in Afton Car Accident
The driver has been identified as Gavin L. Williams, 19, who was taken to Johnson City Medical Center after a crash on Snapps Ferry Road.
Gavin L. Williams, 19, was injured in a single-vehicle car crash in the 6000 block of Snapps Ferry Road in Afton on Saturday, November 7.
How the Snapps Ferry Road Crash Happened
The crash happened shortly before 6:30 a.m. The Tennessee Highway Patrol said in a report issued Sunday that Williams was driving a 2012 Toyota Tacoma north on Snapps Ferry Road through a left-hand curve. Troopers said the vehicle ran off the right side of the road and then crossed the center line.
It struck a guardrail, and the Highway Patrol said it overturned and came to rest on top of the guardrail. Emergency crews stabilized the vehicle so Williams could be removed. EMS took him to Johnson City Medical Center for evaluation.
What the Highway Patrol Report Shows
The Tennessee Highway Patrol issued its report on the crash Sunday. The Greene County Sheriff's Department, the Greeneville Emergency and Rescue Squad, Greeneville and Greene County EMS and the Tusculum Volunteer Fire Department also responded. No charges have been announced.
Roads are often closed for hours after a serious crash so investigators can measure and photograph the scene before anything is moved.
