LAFOLLETTE, TN (WLAF) – One person had to be cut out of a car and then airlifted to a Knoxville hospital while another patient was transported by ground ambulance as the result of an afternoon wreck in east La Follette.

At 2:05pm, the call of the collision came in to Central Dispatch sending multiple agencies to the scene near the TDOT office on the Carl Stiner-State Route 63 Highway. Stiner Highway was temporarily shutdown and used as the landing zone (LZ) for the medical helicopter.

A car reportedly came from Carr Wynn Road, across Middlesboro Road and through this field.
The car came to an uncontrolled rest in a concrete culvert.
Two patients were transported from this Sunday afternoon wreck.

Reports coming in to WLAF are that the wreck happened in bizarre fashion with a car coming off Carr Wynn Road, crossing Middlesboro Road-Old Highway 63, traveling through a field before jumping a silt fence and landing in a concrete culvert on the Carl Stiner-State Route 63 Highway.

Responding agencies were the La Follette Fire Department’s Medical Rescue Unit, Campbell County Rural Fire Service, Campbell County EMS, Campbell County Sheriff’s Office, Tennessee Highway Patrol and Lifestar. (WLAF NEWS PUBLISHED – 05/01/2022-4:30PM-PHOTOS COURTESY OF WLAF’S CHARLIE HUTSON)
