Glenn back home after wreck
|
Glenn, 72, is recovering at home after being airlifted to Erlanger Medical Center from the scene. She was released from the Chattanooga facility the same night of the wreck.
The accident happened Thursday around 6 p.m. on Smithville Highway by Delores’ Market, the store which she owned for many years and which still bears her name.
According to highway patrol reports, Glenn stopped at the end of Grizzle Road which intersects with Smithville Highway directly across from the market. She then pulled onto the highway, into the path of a northbound 1999 International Caney Fork Electric truck driven by Phillip Powell, 45.
The truck impacted Glenn’s Jeep Cherokee on its left front, spinning the vehicle and leaving it at the edge of a ditch. The Caney Fork truck then crossed the road after impact and slid over an embankment, causing it to overturn. It came to rest on its side partially on the highway. Powell escaped serious injury.
