City of Chattanooga Engine 12 and Hamilton County EMS, Medic 6, were
dispatched to an accident with possible injuries on Barton Avenue, near
McFarland Avenue. When rescuers arrived on the scene they reported a single

rather surprised to fined that although there was some serious damage to the
power pole and the car, both the driver and the passenger were uninjured.
Firefighters quickly blocked Barton Avenue
and rerouted traffic with the assistance o the City Of Chattanooga Police.
Crews with the Electric Power Board were called to the scene to deal with
the pole and power lines. Meanwhile, City of Chattanooga Police officers
started their report and investigation into how the crash occurred. At this
time the exact cause has not yet been determined, however the car did have
Georgia tags and witnesses said the driver may not have been familiar with
the area.
