Wow! I didn’t hear about that until now. That’s a 30–45-minute drive from me. My son-in-law works in Ooltewah and I haven’t heard a word about it. Chattanooga is covered with cameras and even have their “Eye in the Sky”.
I did hear that there were farm animals loose on I-75 a mile from my exit this morning but that’s normal. Somebody’s pigs get on the highway. I even had to call them in once.
I always feel like I dodged a near death experience when I go to Chattanooga and back.
Regarding the I-75 accident, that’s a 20-50 minute drive for me, depending on traffic. Chattanooga is decidedly void of anywhere near enough paths across the Tennessee river. I’m fortunate to live on the northwest side of the river, but unfortunately, I have to cross it to get to work every day.
They keep building houses, but they don’t build roads to accommodate the additional traffic. Turning ‘Nooga into a mini-Atlanta.
