Knoxville, TN – January 30, 2025
A Tennessee University shuttle bus was involved in a serious accident earlier this morning, leaving five people injured, including students and staff. The crash occurred around 8:30 AM at the intersection of Cumberland Avenue and Volunteer Boulevard, near the university campus.
According to preliminary reports, the bus was traveling toward the main campus when it collided with a sedan attempting to make an abrupt turn. Witnesses say the impact caused the bus to veer off the road, striking a light pole before coming to a stop. Emergency responders arrived swiftly, transporting the injured to the University of Tennessee Medical Center. Officials confirmed that none of the injuries were life-threatening.
“We are relieved that everyone is in stable condition, and we are providing full support to those affected,” a university spokesperson stated. Authorities are investigating the exact cause of the accident, but early indications suggest the sedan may have failed to yield.
Traffic in the area was temporarily rerouted, causing significant delays for morning commuters. The university has advised students to use alternative transportation until the situation is fully resolved.
