Two people were involved in a minor accident last week, after a car rear-ended a truck north of Smithville.
According to Tennessee Highway Patrol Trooper Bobby Johnson, on Wednesday, November 24, at approximately 3:20 P.M. Andrew Dodder of Ashley River Road, Myrtle Beach, SC, was traveling north on Highway 56 North (Cookeville Highway) in a 2019 Ford Transit truck.
At the same time, Sharon Bell of Cill Street, Smithville, was also traveling north on Highway 56 North in a Black 2013 Chevy Impala.
According to Trooper Johnson, the Ford had stopped to make a left turn onto Big Hurricane Road, and Bell was unable to stop in time, rear-ending the truck. Both Dodder and Bell reported only minor injuries in the crash.
