A single-vehicle crash on Sunday afternoon along Highway 127 North in Crossville resulted in serious injuries for the driver and left a trail of property damage spanning ditches, a utility pole, and a fence.

The incident occurred at approximately 3:26 PM on November 8, 2026, near 14093 Highway 127 North. According to the incident report, a northbound 2017 Chrysler Pacifica, driven by 35-year-old John McCauley of Tennessee, veered off the left shoulder of the roadway.

The minivan entered a ditch before striking a utility pole, crossed into a second ditch, and ultimately came to a final rest after crashing into a fence. McCauley, who was wearing a seatbelt at the time of the collision, sustained suspected serious injuries.

Law enforcement authorities have charged McCauley with failure to exercise due care, operating a vehicle without insurance, and driving on a suspended license.
