The Chattanooga Fire Department's Engine 9 and Ladder 5 Green Shift responded to the crash where a car left the East Ridge tunnels at a high rate of speed and left the roadway upon exiting the tunnel, striking a tree and catching fire.

Firefighters encountered difficult conditions upon E9’s arrival due to the steep terrain and vegetation overgrowth.

The fire was extinguished and one victim was located deceased inside the car.
