Caryville, TN — A woman was injured along with a truck driver after a hit-and-run driver allegedly caused a wreck on I-75. This happened near Caryville last Wednesday afternoon, and they were identified as Lindsey Chapman, 31, and Richard Harn, 63, respectively.
Police said that Lindsey Chapman was driving her Pontiac along I-75 and Richard Harn was driving his semi-truck, both headed north. Near the Exit 134 for Caryville, a car allegedly came up behind Chapman and struck her, causing her small car to be pushed into the shoulder.
Her Pontiac hit some guardrail cables and went back into traffic, where it was hit by Richard Harn’s semi-truck. The collision left both Harn and Chapman injured, but the driver that allegedly hit Chapman’s car didn’t stop.
According to Harn, the hit-and-run driver may have been a black or green semi-truck/tractor-trailer. More investigation is expected.

Commentary:
If this accident was set into motion by a tractor-trailer that fled the scene, then there may be some very serious consequences awaiting that driver down the road. And if the police ever find the driver and a claim is filed against him, it won’t just be focused on the truck driver, it will involve the company he worked for as well.
