Two Involved in Late Night Crash

Two people were involved in a one car crash Monday night on Highway 70 at the intersection with South Driver Street on Snow Hill.
Trooper Jason Cobble of the Tennessee Highway Patrol told WJLE that 43 year old Peggy Bain of Smithville was west on Highway 70 in a 2003 Pontiac Grand Am when she crossed the center line into the opposite lane. The car then went off the highway and struck a rock embankment coming to rest in the middle of South Driver Street. Bain was trapped in the vehicle.
Members of the DeKalb County Volunteer Fire Department Rescue Team were summoned to the scene and popped the driver side door open with their extrication tools.
Bain was taken by DeKalb EMS to St. Thomas Rutherford Hospital. 40 year old Bobby Pinegar, a passenger of the car, was not injured.
Members of the Liberty Station of the DeKalb County Volunteer Fire Department and Sheriff’s Department deputies were also on the scene.
