MEMPHIS, Tenn. — One person is dead following a major crash near the intersection of Getwell Road and Elliston Street in East Memphis, where first responders have shut down roads in the area.
Video from a witness shows people climbing down into a ditch to reach those trapped in a vehicle that ended up upside down following the crash.
According to one witness, he was sitting at the intersection when a car sped through at a high rate of speed. The collision sent the struck car into a nearby drainage ditch.
“It was a green light for us, but I saw the car coming, so I stopped,” the witness said. “The other car didn’t, and he tried to turn, but the car hit him, took him airborne, and it was a disaster, man.”
It is unclear if anyone has been ticketed or arrested in connection with the crash.
