Crash backs up traffic at Riverside Dr. intersection

CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. (CLARKSVILLENOW) – A crash occurred Thursday at 10:50 a.m. at the intersection of Riverside Dr. and N. 2nd St.

Clarksville police said the crash has caused significant traffic back ups in the area as far as McGregor Park. Drivers should avoid it if possible.

Minor injuries were reported.

The nearest eyewitness was a Clarksville Police Department Traffic Unit officer.

“I was sitting right here at the red light and saw it happen,” Officer Derrick Cronk said.

Cronk said citations would be issued because one of the drivers failed to yield the right of way and one or more children did not appear to have been in car seats. The road was expected to be fully reopened by noon.
