| Mayor's salt truck in minor wreck |
Tim Burchett is no longer mobile.
The Knox County mayor and his driver
were involved in a minor wreck around 10:40 this morning as the salt
truck they were in hit a “solid sheet of ice” and nearly slipped
off the side of the road.
“A big tree stopped us from
completely rolling over or it would have been a completely different
story,” Burchett said, adding that everyone is OK.
In the meantime, he said they'll hang
out for awhile and if need be, walk home.
“No one is getting up here right now
– it's too dangerous,” he added. “You'd probably need a
helicopter. But, we'll get out of here and we've got enough to stay
warm, so everything is fine for now.”
The accident occurred on Haw Road off
Tarwater in South Knoxville.
No word yet on whether they've spotted Bigfoot.
