The Tennessee Highway Patrol (THP) says a three-car crash in Polk County on Christmas night claimed the life of one man and injured six others, including two children.
The THP says the accident happened just after 9:30 p.m. on Highway 411, about a mile south of the Cajun Lady restaurant.
An accident report says 73-year-old Adan Chapa of Chatsworth was traveling south when his vehicle stalled in the roadway.
The THP says the vehicle had no lights on when Chapa got out and tried to see what was wrong.
A total of six people were hurt, including a 6-year-old child and a 10-year-old child from Cleveland, who were in the third car that was hit head-on. The driver of the second vehicle that rear-ended Chapa’s vehicle is from Ellijay, Georgia.
