How the Rutledge Pike Truck Crash Unfolded
The sheriff's office said preliminary information indicates a black Chevrolet Silverado was heading west on Rutledge Pike and was turning left at an intersection when it collided with a white pickup truck heading east. After that first impact, the Silverado spun and struck a school bus that was stopped at the intersection, waiting to turn west onto Rutledge Pike. Both pickups sustained significant damage and were towed from the scene. The bus had minor damage. Initial reports indicate no students were hurt, and the injuries to the two pickup drivers are believed to be minor.
