McMinnville Woman Airlifted After Two Vehicle Crash

A 64 year old McMinnville woman was airlifted to Erlanger Hospital after a two vehicle accident Friday morning at the intersection of Highway 56 and Blue Springs Road.
Patsy Inglis was flown out from a field near the scene by a Life Force helicopter ambulance.
According to Trooper Bobby Johnson of the Tennessee Highway Patrol, 18 year old Victoria Brooke Cantrell of Smithville was traveling east on Blue Springs Road in a 2000 Toyota 4Runner when she failed to yield to a stop sign at the intersection. Cantrell turned south onto Highway 56 and into the path of a northbound 2006 Mercury Voyager Van, driven by Inglis resulting in a head-on crash.
Cantrell was transported by DeKalb EMS to DeKalb Community Hospital.
Trooper Johnson said Cantrell claims her brakes failed contributing to the accident.
Members of the Keltonburg and Blue Springs Stations of the DeKalb County Volunteer Fire Department responded along with officers of the Sheriff’s Department.
