A 17 year old girl and a 10 month old child escaped injury Monday morning in a one car wreck on Highway 56 south.
Trooper Todd Logan of the Tennessee Highway Patrol says Ashley Caldwell was traveling north in a 2000 Chevy Malibu when she went off the road and then struck a ditch and a fence. The car came to rest upside down.
According to Trooper Logan, Caldwell claims she lost control of the car after swerving to avoid another vehicle in her lane of travel.
Members of the DeKalb County Fire Department responded including Rescue #51 and the Keltonburg and Blue Springs Stations along with DeKalb EMS and the Sheriff’s Department.
Caldwell and the child, while unhurt, could not get out of the car on their own. Firefighters safely removed them.
