In Maury County this morning, a tragic motor vehicle crash on Hampshire Pike led to a temporary closure of the road from Highway 166 to Ridgetop Road. The incident, reported as a head-on collision just before 7 AM, prompted the dispatch of emergency personnel to the scene.
Upon their arrival around 7 AM, responders found five occupants trapped in two vehicles, with one individual tragically deceased outside of the vehicle. Three of the patients had to be airlifted from the scene, while two pediatric patients were transported by ground for further medical attention.
The Tennessee Highway Patrol has initiated an investigation into the cause of the accident. The roadway was reopened at approximately 9 AM, following the necessary response and investigative procedures.
