Just before 1 a.m. Bradley County EMS responded to a single car crash on I-75 northbound at the 28 mile marker. Bradley County responded with two ambulances and sent a shift commander to the scene. When EMS units arrived they found a car that had left the roadway and struck a tree. The vehicle had extensive damage with the female driver pinned inside.
Paramedics requested air medical to respond to the scene. Erlanger’s Lifeforce helicopter was notified by 911 Dispatch. The interstate was shut down to accommodate a landing zone just north of the scene.
Once the patient was taken from the wreckage she was moved to the nearby ambulance for treatment and stabilization. Lifeforce arrived within minutes. The patient was loaded onto the helicopter and flown to Erlanger. The patient’s exact age and condition is not known at this time.
