The report provided by law enforcement states that the driver of a Mazda failed to stop because a stop sign was partially obstructed by a tree. The driver struck the brakes and slid across Creston Road before colliding with the tree. The road surface was wet at the time from rain.

The injured driver was subsequently transported to Cumberland Medical Center for treatment of non-life threatening injuries.

The Federal Highway Administration has found that on average, approximately 5,000 individuals are killed and more than 418,000 individuals are injured in weather-related crashes each year.
