Teen Airlifted after Sunday Wreck

A teenager was airlifted after a two vehicle crash Sunday afternoon on Highway 70 near the intersection of Hurricane Ridge Road.
Trooper Mark Jones of the Tennessee Highway Patrol told WJLE that the 17 year old boy was driving a 2007 Pontiac G5 pulling from Hurricane Ridge Road to go east on Highway 70 when he crossed the path of a 1999 Ford F-150, driven by 45 year old Steven Glynn of Dale Ridge Road, Dowelltown. Glynn was traveling west on Highway 70.
Members of the DeKalb County Volunteer Fire Department’s Extrication and Rescue Team were summoned because the teen was pinned in his car. The boy was picked up at the scene by a helicopter ambulance and flown to Vanderbilt Hospital in Nashville.
Glynn was not injured.
Members of the DeKalb EMS and the Sheriff’s Department were also on the scene.
