A state trooper was hurt in a crash that shut down eastbound Interstate 24 in Montgomery County for several hours. The Tennessee Highway Patrol says the trooper was working a traffic accident near the Rossview Road exit and was returning to his patrol car when he turned around and saw another vehicle heading toward him. Officials say he tried to get out of the way, but the vehicle clipped him before slamming into the driver's side of a tow truck. The driver of the tow truck, 47-year-old James Walker Jr., was trapped inside and had to be extricated from the truck.

A crash involving multiple vehicles and a private ambulance sent five people to the hospital Thursday, one in critical condition. None of the people inside the three vehicles suffered life-threatening injuries after the incident at Interstate 240 and Perkins Avenue. The median was more of a wall that a SUV flipped over. A car somehow became shoved under the ambulance.
