SULLIVAN COUNTY, Tenn. (WJHL) — Three juveniles and one adult were injured in a crash on Interstate 81 in Sullivan County near mile marker 63 on Sunday at 4:38 p.m.

According to a report from the Tennessee Highway Patrol (THP), a Chevrolet Suburban pulling a camper was traveling in the right lane of I-81, while a Range Rover was traveling in the left lane.

The report said the Chevrolet switched lanes due to a vehicle on the right shoulder of the roadway. The Chevrolet then struck the Range Rover’s right side with the left side of the camper.

The collision caused both vehicles to leave the left side of the roadway and enter the median, THP said. The Chevrolet, with the camper still attached, reportedly rolled once and came to a stop on its wheels, while the camper came to a rest on its side. The Range Rover stopped in the median of the interstate.

The THP report said four individuals in the Chevrolet were injured in the crash, including three juveniles and one adult.

The report said all parties were wearing seatbelts and that no charges are pending as a result of the crash.
