Two Marion County Sheriff’s Office deputies were injured in a crash late Thursday on South Pittsburg Mountain while answering a domestic violence call, officials said.
The Tennessee Highway Patrol is investigating, according to Marion County Sheriff Ronnie “Bo” Burnett.
Burnett said one of the two deputies may have to have surgery to repair injuries to his upper arm but both were treated and released from Erlanger Hospital in Chattanooga overnight and are now recovering at home.
Burnett said the crash happened on the curvy stretch in the 3900 block of State Route 156 west of the Patton School Road intersection on South Pittsburg Mountain.
Deputy Brian Davis was driving with fellow officer Chip Wampler as a passenger as they answered a domestic violence call around 11 p.m. CST Thursday, Burnett said.
