CROSSVILLE — Cumberland County firefighters work to extricate the victim of this two-vehicle crash that occurred on Dunbar Rd. at Shadberry Dr. Tuesday shortly before 2 p.m. The crash snarled traffic just as schools were releasing students for the day. The wreck, investigated by the Tennessee Highway Patrol, occurred when a passenger car exited Shadberry in front of a Dodge Ram pickup pulling a trailer. The woman driver of the car — believed to be from White County — was taken to Cumberland Medical Center by ambulance, but is not believed to have suffered life-threatening injuries. The truck driver was not hurt.
