Tuesday night, April 14th, just before midnight, a Marshall County Sheriff’s deputy observed a vehicle traveling at a high rate of speed and driving recklessly.

The deputy attempted a traffic stop, but the vehicle failed to stop.
Due to safety concerns, the attempt to stop the vehicle was terminated; however, the vehicle continued at a high rate of speed.

The driver subsequently lost control and crashed into the Sweeps and Ladders building. The driver fled the scene on foot. Officers responded shortly after and rendered aid to the passenger.

Due to the severity of the crash, the Tennessee Highway Patrol was requested to investigate the accident. The driver has been identified, and charges will be filed.
