At 3:08 CST on Monday afternoon Dunlap Fire Department reported to a single vehicle accident on Hwy 111 north of the waterfalls.
The initial report was a semi-truck coming down the mountain and overturned blocking 2 lanes of traffic with unknown injures. First arriving units found the truck on its side with the driver in the cab.
The driver was able to get out under his own power and was transported by Puckett EMS with minor injuries.
Dunlap Firefighters and Sequatchie County EMA contained a diesel fuel leak and setup traffic cones, so traffic was allowed to continue around the accident site. TDOT crews responded and controlled traffic while the wreckage was being cleaned up. Their assistance allowed Dunlap Fire to get its units back in service.
Troopers with the Tennessee Highway Patrol are investigating the accident with assistance from Sequatchie County Sheriff’s deputies.
