On the afternoon of April 21, 2025, emergency responders from the Lawrence County Fire and Rescue, specifically from the Iron City Station, were dispatched to a vehicle accident on Iron City Road near the Shoal Creek Bridge. Upon their arrival, the first responders observed considerable damage to both the vehicles involved and the bridge itself. In light of the situation, officials from the Tennessee Department of Transportation were summoned to evaluate the structural integrity of the bridge.
Fortunately, despite the extent of the damage, there were no serious injuries reported from this incident. This accident occurred just a few hours after the same fire and rescue units had attended to a more severe crash on Highway 43 South in Leoma, which involved two passenger vehicles and a boat being towed. The quick response from emergency services in both incidents highlights their commitment to ensuring public safety in the community.
