BLOUNT COUNTY, Tenn. — Firefighters on the scene on the scene of Monday night’s fatal crash say it’s hard to believe anyone survived.
Matthew Dixon, 25, died before crews arrived to the scene of the accident on Highway 321 in the Blount County community of Friendsville. But four others were trapped for more than an hour in a van. A collision with a dump truck left them pinned in a ditch.
But five people did survive thanks to efforts of about 60 emergency workers from four different agencies.
