BULLS GAP, Tenn. (WJHL) — A collision involving a Hawkins County Sheriff’s Office vehicle occurred Monday evening in Bulls Gap, as reported by the Tennessee Highway Patrol (THP). The incident took place when the law enforcement unit allegedly veered across the center line of Highway 11E, colliding with a car poised to make a turn.

According to a crash report obtained by News Channel 11 on Wednesday, the accident happened on December 29 at around 5:21 p.m. It was located at the intersection of Highway 11E, also known as Andrew Johnson Highway, and N Main Street in Bulls Gap.
