A multi-vehicle crash shut down Highway 109 North in Wilson County on Wednesday, Oct. 28, leaving several people with serious injuries.
The Wilson County Sheriff's Office said the crash occurred in the 9200 block of Highway 109 North. The sheriff's office, the Tennessee Highway Patrol (THP) and emergency medical crews responded around 7:30 a.m., according to WSMV. WSMV reported that responders found multiple vehicles crashed and several people suffering from "serious injuries."
Troopers closed all lanes in both directions for the investigation. The Wilson County Sheriff's Office posted on Facebook that southbound traffic was diverted onto NW Williams Road while one northbound lane remained open.
By 7:53 a.m., the Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT) had placed traffic cones in the area, opening one lane of southbound traffic, according to the sheriff's office. WSMV reported all lanes reopened around 9:30 a.m. The sheriff's office posted a separate update at 11:29 a.m. stating the roadway was back open. It is unclear whether the two reports describe different phases of reopening.
The exact number of vehicles involved, the number of people injured and the severity of their injuries have not been released.
No cause has been reported. The THP is investigating.
