Madison, TN (August 3, 2025) – A crash resulting in injuries was reported Friday morning at Exit 90A along I-65 South in Madison, involving the westbound Briley Pkwy and southbound Ellington Pkwy near the Dickerson Pike exit.
A crash occurred around 7:48 a.m., causing traffic backups during the morning commute. First responders, including paramedics, assessed and treated individuals hurt in the crash at the scene before transporting those with more serious injuries to area hospitals.
The collision took place near a complex interchange connecting several major roadways, including Briley Pkwy and Ellington Pkwy. This stretch of highway is often congested during peak travel times, and the crash added to delays for southbound drivers. Lanes were temporarily blocked to allow emergency personnel safe access.
Nashville Fire Department crews worked with local police to secure the site and begin an investigation into the cause of the incident. While officials have not released the total number of vehicles involved, multiple lanes of traffic were affected, and injury reports confirmed a range of conditions among those impacted.

Multi-Roadway Crashes in Davidson County
Crashes involving multiple interchanges, such as I-65 South and the surrounding Briley and Ellington Pkwy connectors, are among the most challenging for both commuters and first responders. These intersections are characterized by merging traffic, short exit ramps, and high-speed lane shifts—all factors that increase the likelihood of collisions.
In Davidson County, traffic crashes involving injury are common near exits like 90A, where drivers must navigate both local and interstate flows. According to Tennessee traffic safety statistics, more than 40% of highway crashes in urban areas involve lane merging or last-minute changes due to missed exits or congestion.
Morning rush hour further intensifies crash risks, as drivers are often distracted or in a hurry. This makes it critical to maintain safe distances, avoid aggressive lane changes, and stay alert to vehicles entering from multiple directions.
For those involved in highway crashes, it’s important to obtain a police report, document the damage, and seek medical evaluation—even if injuries seem minor at first. Legal and insurance support may also be necessary when dealing with complex multi-vehicle collisions.
