A University of Tennessee Lifestar medical helicopter responded to a head-on two-car crash on Scarboro Road on Monday evening.

The crash was reported at about 6 p.m. Monday, just up the hill from the main entrance to the Y-12 National Security Complex and near Commerce Park.

One driver was taken to the University of Tennessee Medical Center in Knoxville by the UT Lifestar helicopter, which landed at Y-12. The other driver refused treatment, authorities said.

The Oak Ridge Police Department, Oak Ridge Fire Department, and Anderson County EMS responded to the crash.

Scarboro Road was temporarily closed between Y-12 and Commerce Park while emergency crews responded, helped the drivers, investigated, and cleaned up after the crash.

More information will be added as it becomes available.
