Driver Injured in Cumberland County Accident

shutterstock_1017220168

Cumberland County, TN (September 8, 2020) A single vehicle accident occurred on the afternoon of September 8th close to Clear Creek Road and left the driver injured. Law enforcement states that the driver experienced a medical condition while operating a Hyundai Sonata. Due to the sudden onset of the medical condition, the driver lost control of her vehicle, which then left the road and rolled over. As a result of the accident, the driver was transported to a nearby hospital for treatment of her injuries.

While there are many medical conditions that can result in sudden car crashes, a report issued by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration found that 84% of these accidents involved blackouts, seizures, or diabetic reactions.

How to Avoid Sudden Medical Emergency Accidents

If you notice another motor vehicle approaching yours in a head-on direct, remember there are some critical steps that you can take to avoid colliding with an out of control vehicle. This includes:

  • Slow down if you notice another vehicle headed towards you in a reckless or erratic manner
  • Sound your horn and switch your lights, in the hopes that this catches the other driver’s attention
  • Look for a shoulder of road or if necessary, a ditch. Even though it might seem undesirable, a ditch is preferable to a collision.
