Ellington Pkwy is a major thoroughfare serving thousands of commuters daily, and when crashes occur at key interchanges like Hart Ln, they can quickly impact traffic flow throughout East Nashville. These arterial routes are particularly vulnerable to afternoon congestion, and collisions during peak travel hours often lead to secondary delays and complications for emergency responders.
