One Injured in Rear End Collision

Two people were involved in a rear end collision Tuesday afternoon on Highway 56 south near Webb’s Chapel Church.
Trooper Bobby Johnson of the Tennessee Highway Patrol told WJLE that 62 year old Jerry Holley of Rock Island was traveling south in a 1998 Chevy Silverado when he rear ended a southbound 1982 GMC Sierra, driven by a 16 year old, who had stopped to make a left turn into a private driveway. The teen was taken by DeKalb EMS to the hospital. Holley was not injured.
According to Trooper Johnson, Holley was cited for failure to exercise due care.
Members of the DeKalb EMS, Sheriff’s Department, and County Fire Department were also on the scene.
