One person was injured in a two vehicle crash Friday on Four Seasons Road.

33 year old Carmello Perez of Smithville was transported by EMS to Ascension Saint Thomas DeKalb Hospital.

According to the Tennessee Highway Patrol, Perez was west on Four Seasons Road in a 2009 Ford Escape when hit by an eastbound 1997 Ford F150 pulling a trailer driven by 36 year old Earl Asberry, Jr. of Smithville. Asberry was not injured.

The THP reports that Asberry failed to maintain lane of travel while negotiating a curve and struck Perez’s vehicle with the left front of the trailer causing disabling damage to the Ford Escape. The truck was driven from the scene but Perez’ car was towed by Gill Automotive.

Both drivers were wearing their seatbelts.

The crash was investigated by THP Trooper Chris Delong
