A man who left the scene on foot after being involved in a two vehicle crash on Saturday, September 16, 2017 was sentenced Friday in criminal court.
44 year old Robin Clark Green of Sparta entered a plea by criminal information to reckless endangerment and received a two year TDOC sentence to serve. He was given jail credit from September 22, 2017 to February 23, 2018.
Green was originally charged with reckless endangerment, leaving the scene of an injury crash, driving while license revoked, improper passing, and failing to exercise due care.
According to the Tennessee Highway Patrol, the crash occurred at 9:26 p.m. on Highway 70 east (Sparta Highway) near Howard Redmon Road as Green, driving a 1994 Nissan Xterra east on U.S. 70, crossed into the westbound lane to pass another vehicle on a double yellow line. 30 year old Juan Delgado of Smithville, who was traveling west on Highway 70 in a 1998 Toyota Tacoma, swerved to avoid a collision but Green’s vehicle hit the Tacoma in the left front. Delgado’s truck then traveled off the right side of the roadway and struck a ditch where it came to its final rest. Green’s Xterra traveled off the left side of the roadway and struck a ditch and then a fence before coming to its final rest in a field.
After the crash, Green fled the scene on foot. He had three passengers in the vehicle with him, 39 year old Angela Atnip, 22 year old Zachary Walker, and 42 year old Barry Atnip all of Smithville. Both Angela and Barry Atnip were transported by ground ambulance to St. Thomas DeKalb Hospital while Walker was airlifted to Erlanger Hospital in Chattanooga.
Delgado was not injured but he was cited for no drivers license and failing to provide proof of financial responsibility.
Trooper Jason Cobble was the investigating officer.
