One person was injured in a bizarre traffic accident around 9:23 a.m. Monday morning on Highway 70 east.
Trooper Allen England of the Tennessee Highway Patrol says 41 year old Timothy Pedigo of Smithville was traveling west in a 2001 Chevrolet pickup truck, when a ladder strapped to the truck bed, came loose and crashed into the windshield of an east bound 1992 Jeep Cherokee, driven by 43 year old Dana Heath Wilson of Sparta.
Wilson was transported by DeKalb EMS to White County Hospital, where he was treated and released.
