LAFOLLETTE, TN (WLAF)- Right at 2pm Monday, a vehicle left the four lane and rolled over and down the embankment to Old Jacksboro Pike in front of Lyk-Nu Auto Collision Center.
There were other vehicles involved in the accident, three according to one count from an official. All other vehicles remained on the four lane with the black CUV appearing to be the main player.

Air bags deployed as the driver, the lone occupant, of the CUV was gently removed by way of the drivers side door by first responders from Campbell EMS and the La Follette Fire Department. La Follette Police also responded.

The patient, the only person injured, was transported by Campbell EMS to the Stiner Airfield where she was airlifted to a Knoxville hospital.

The westbound lanes of the four lane were down to one lane, the left lane, for about half an hour while Old Jacksboro Pike was shut down completely in the 1500 block only. All lanes were reopened at 2:35pm.
