CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. – Clarksville Police were dispatched to a pedestrian-involved collision at 8:31 a.m. Saturday morning on the Highway 41A South Bypass (Ashland City Road) near Queen’s Bluff Way.
Witnesses said a pedestrian running through traffic caused a collision between two vehicles when a driver had to swerve to miss him.
A short time later, the pedestrian was struck by a vehicle down the street from the first incident.
Lead Investigator Jennifer Szczerbiak said the 30-year-old white male pedestrian was struck by a tan Ford Explorer.
Witnesses said the pedestrian had been acting erratically and running toward vehicles travelling down the bypass.
The pedestrian, who was conscious and breathing after the collision, was transported by Life-Flight helicopter to Vanderbilt Hospital. His current status is unknown.
Szczerbiak said alcohol appears to have been a contributing factor in this incident.
