A crash like the one that occurred on I-65 South near Crieve Hall illustrates how quickly a routine drive can become dangerous—even during the early hours of the morning. With lower visibility and reduced traffic flow, drivers may underestimate risks or become fatigued, leading to serious incidents. The stretch of highway between Harding Pl and OHB is a particularly active zone, with multiple entry and exit points contributing to sudden changes in traffic speed and flow.
I-65 is one of Tennessee’s busiest transportation corridors. Crashes along this route are unfortunately common due to its role as a major commuter and freight artery.
