According to a report from the Tennessee Highway patrol, Haley Whitsell, age 21 was driving an SUV on Volunteer Parkway when she collided with Thomas Duliba, age 52, also driving an SUV. Manchester Fire & Rescue was called out because drivers were pinned in the vehicles and crews used the Jaws of Life to free them.

Duliba was later flown to Erlanger Hospital in Chattanooga. We have no updated information on their conditions.
