Update – 8:30 AM CST 11/19/25:
Sequatchie County Sheriff Bill Phillips says no one was seriously injured in an early morning crash on Wednesday involving a log truck on Highway 111 Southbound near the Sequatchie-Hamilton County line.
The accident occurred around 5:00 AM CST and forced the highway to be completely closed to traffic for a brief period of time, with one lane opening around 7:00 AM, and completely opening a short time after that.
The accident appears to have involved a log truck and another, smaller, commercial vehicle; however, no official information was given on the cause of the accident we are happy to report no serious injuries were sustained.
We’ll continue to update this story as needed.
