[ACCIDENT] C4 Corvette Involved in Head-On Collision with Pickup Truck

Two occupants of a dark green C4 Corvette were injured in a head-on collision with a pickup truck near Springfield, Tennessee on Sunday morning.

Cross Plains Fire Chief Tommy Jackson said the Corvette driver had to be Lifeflighted to Vanderbilt Medical Center in Nashville, while the passenger was transported via ambulance to Skyline Medical Center. The driver of the truck also was carried to NorthCrest Medical Center in Springfield via ambulance.

Smokey Barn News reports that the crash happened about 10 a.m. on Highway 49 East just outside of Springfield between Wilks Road and Owens Chapel Road.

The Corvette was apparently headed north towards Orlinda and the pickup was going southbound towards Springfield at the time of the collision.

The crash left the Corvette badly damaged, particularly on the passenger side from the cockpit forward.

Traffic was delayed while the scene was cleared, though one lane of Highway 49 remained open during most of the investigation.

The Cross Plains Fire Department, Robertson County Sheriff’s Office, Robertson County EMS, Robertson County Emergency Management Agency and the Tennessee Highway Patrol all responded to the crash.
