One person died in a two-car crash on Friday morning in Clinton.
The collision happened at about 7 a.m. near the intersection of Highway 61 and the on-ramp to Interstate 75 North. Christopher Strunk, 32, of Oneida died as a result of his injuries.
Initial information indicated that the vehicle, in which Strunk was a passenger, was “T-boned” by another car on North Charles G. Seivers Boulevard at the northbound entrance to I-75.
The driver was taken to the University of Tennessee Medical Center for treatment. The driver of the other vehicle was not injured.
The CPD’s accident reconstruction team is continuing to investigate the incident.
“At this point, it’s too early to release additional information regarding any charges that may, or may not, be filed,†CPD Chief Rick Scarbrough said.
Investigators closed the ramp to 75 North to reconstruct the accident, but the scene was cleared and the ramp reopened at around 10 a.m.
