The Tennesee Highway Patrol investigated the crash. According to the THP’s preliminary analysis of the crash, the 2017 Ford Explorer police cruiser (traveling East) had the green when a 2012 Honda CRV (traveling West) turned left at the I65 S ramp. As the Honda made the turn towards the ramp it impacted the side of the police cruiser. The impact put the Honda into a spin and into a ditch and sent the Police cruiser into a utility pole.
According to the THP report, no citations were issued or charges filed. There was also no mention that drugs, alcohol or distracted driving played any part in the crash and both drivers were properly restrained.
