On Wednesday evening, emergency responders from Lawrence County Fire & Rescue were called to the scene of a significant accident on Prosser Road, located within the Leoma community. The incident unfolded just before 6:30 p.m., triggered by an automated crash detection system and a 911 call that reported distressing cries for assistance.
Upon their arrival, first responders discovered a vehicle situated in a field, which was largely obscured from view by the roadway. Among the three individuals inside the vehicle, one sustained serious injuries, while another was trapped within the wreckage. Fire and Emergency Management Agency (EMA) personnel acted swiftly to extricate the individual who was trapped. According to reports from WLX, all three victims received initial treatment at the scene before being transported by Lawrence County EMS for further medical attention.
In addition to the fire and rescue teams, deputies from the Lawrence County Sheriff’s Office were present to assist with the situation. The Tennessee Highway Patrol has taken on the responsibility of investigating the circumstances surrounding the crash. The responding fire units included Leoma Rescue 11, Crossroads Rescue 11, and Leoma Engine 12, all of which played a crucial role in managing the emergency response.
