CROSS PLAINS, TENNESSEE: (Smokey Barn News) – Here’s a look at the fiery crash that occurred early Sunday morning. The crash occurred on I-65 North at mile marker 114, just north of Highway 25, the first call coming into 911 around 2:00 a.m. LOCATION OF CRASH
According to Cross Plains Fire Chief Tommy Jackson, none of the occupants sustained life-threatening injuries, although one person was transported to an area hospital.
