Two people were involved in a one car crash Sunday morning on Highway 56 at Pine Creek Bridge near County House Road.
According to the Tennessee Highway Patrol, 44-year-old Amanda Knowles was driving north on Highway 56 in a 2019 Nissan Rogue when she crossed the center line, ran off the left side of the roadway, and struck a guardrail face and bridge end. The impact caused the vehicle to rotate, striking the bridge rail with the car’s right side before coming to a final rest in the roadway.
Knowles was injured in the crash, but her passenger 28-year-old Mercedes Porter was not hurt. In addition to the THP, DeKalb EMS and the DeKalb County Fire Department responded along with the Sheriff’s Department.
