FREIGHTLINER LOSES CONTROL ON DAYTON MOUNTAIN MONDAY
RHEA COUNTY, Tenn. — Two people were injured when a Freightliner lost control on Dayton Mountain Highway in Rhea County Monday, Tennessee Highway Patrol says.
A 58-year-old man in a 2012 Freightliner Cascadia was traveling east down Dayton Mountain Highway when it turned over onto the driver’s side while trying to turn a curve, THP says.
The incident happened near Cranmore Cove Road. They say the Freightliner slid across the roadway, striking an embankment. It came to a rest facing east across both westbound lanes of travel. Both the driver and the passenger were injured, according to THP.
