CHEATHAM COUNTY, Tenn. (WKRN) — Cheatham County authorities made an unusual arrest Wednesday evening after one driver’s sneezing attack apparently led to a crash and a scuffle between another motorist and first responders.
The incident happened on Wednesday, Dec. 18 by the intersection of Highway 49 and River Road. According to the Cheatham County Sheriff’s Office, a 39-year-old driver in a work truck had a sneezing attack while he was making a left turn, which caused him to collide with a Mercedes in the oncoming lane of traffic.
The truck driver suffered a minor injury to his hand, but there were no serious injuries. However, as deputies investigated the head-on crash, they determined that neither the truck driver nor the two passengers in the Mercedes were wearing their seatbelts.
“I’m going to cite you for not wearing a seatbelt, alright?” a deputy said to the work truck driver, who admitted he wasn’t wearing one.
