A Maynardville teenager was taken to a Knoxville hospital after the car in which he was riding spun out on South Illinois Avenue on Saturday evening and hit a tree near Edgemoor Road.
Jason Hale, 18, of Raccoon Valley Road, was trapped or had to be extricated, an Oak Ridge Police Department crash report said. He was injured and taken by ambulance to the University of Tennessee Medical Center in Knoxville, the report said.
Hale was a passenger in a Nissan four-door sedan driven by Christina Diane Ferrer, 19, of Knoxville.
The ORPD crash report said the car was southbound on South Illinois Avenue, which is also known as Pellissippi Parkway or State Route 62, when it veered left of its line of travel before counter-steering to the right. Ferrer’s car slightly grazed the rear of another southbound vehicle driven by Benjamin Jermaine Talley, 41, of Knoxville.
Ferrer’s car then began to spin on the roadway, traveled across the road, and collided with a tree on the outside shoulder of South Illinois Avenue, the crash report said.
Ferrer was not injured and neither was another passenger, Joshua Allen Ferrer, 21, of Knoxville. Talley wasn’t injured either, the report said.
