Accidents on Tennessee Highways
Tennessee highways, particularly I-24, experience frequent traffic accidents due to high speeds, congestion, and sudden lane changes. Exit ramps, such as the Bell Rd exit, can be especially hazardous, as drivers often misjudge speeds or fail to yield when merging.
According to the Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT), early morning crashes pose additional risks, as reduced visibility, drowsy driving, and commuter traffic contribute to roadway hazards. Officials encourage drivers to remain alert, obey speed limits, and use caution when entering or exiting highways.
If involved in a crash, it is crucial to seek medical attention, document the accident, and report it to authorities. Consulting with a legal professional can also help ensure fair treatment when handling insurance claims and liability issues.
