Roane County, TN (November 17, 2020) Law enforcement and emergency medical workers responded to a car crash late on November 17th that occurred on Roane State Highway close to Roane County Park. Law enforcement states that the driver of a Chevy Cruze tried to turn onto Caney Creek Road and entered the path of an oncoming Ford Mustang.

The Chevy’s driver was fortunately able to escape injury, but was later charged with several offenses including driving without insurance, driving on an expired registration, failure to exercise due care, and failure to wear a seatbelt.

The Insurance Information Institute has performed in-depth analysis about uninsured motorists. In one part, the Institute cited the Insurance Research Council which found that in 2015, approximately 13 percent of motor vehicle drivers or one in eight drivers was uninsured. While uninsured motorist coverage is not required in Tennessee, this type of insurance protects drivers as well as passengers if the motorist responsible for a crash has no insurance.
