Weather-related accidents -- several Monday night and one early this morning -- injured several people, two of whom were flown to the Johnson City Medical Center.

The first wreck was about 6:40 p.m. Monday when James Jordan, 27, of Fairgrounds Road, Greeneville, lost control of a 2002 Chevrolet Cavalier in the 4400 block of rain-slickened Snapps Ferry Road.

Trooper Eric Wise, who investigated, said the Chevrolet skidded broadside into a utility pole near the Snapps Ferry Road intersection with Williams Spring Road.

Jordan was trapped in the wreckage until he was freed by volunteers from the Greeneville Emergency & Rescue Squad with assistance from firefighters from the Tusculum Volunteer Fire Department.

Jordan was flown to the Johnson City Medical Center by a Wings Air Rescue helicopter. A JCMC nursing supervisor said Jordan was listed in fair condition there this morning.

Another accident occurred shortly before 7:25 p.m. Monday on Old Baileyton Road at its intersection with Doc Hawkins Road.

A report filed by Deputy Sheriff Ricky Graham said a pedestrian, identified as Daniel Babb, 17, of White House Road, jumped onto the hood of a 1993 Toyota Camry driven by Benjamin Passour, 17, of Take Off Lane, Greeneville, as the car approached a stop sign at the intersection of Old Baileyton Road and Doc Hawkins Road.

When Passour "hit his brakes," the accident report said, Babb fell from the hood of the vehicle and "ended up under the car."

Babb was taken by ambulance to Laughlin Memorial Hospital, the report said.

Then, at 7:28 p.m. Monday, a third accident occurred near 230 Greystone Road.

A report filed by Deputy Sheriff Nakia Tweed said Tracy L. Wagner-Hughes, 36, of Greystone Road, told him that as she was driving a 2001 Ford Escort north on Greystone Road, she was forced off the road by a black pickup truck that left the scene.

The report said the Ford struck a mailbox, a newspaper box and a utility pole.

Wagner-Hughes escaped injury, but her passenger, Chelsi Wagner, 14, was transported to Laughlin Memorial Hospital for treatment of injuries.

Other passengers Bret Norton, 15, and Jacob E. Davis, 15 were uninjured, the report said.

At 11:33 p.m. Monday, a fourth accident with injuries took place in the 7900 block of Snapps Ferry Road.

Efrain Jacintogimenez, 28, of Spring Brook Drive, Afton, was injured when he lost control of a 1994 Pontiac Sunbird while driving east on Snapps Ferry Road, according to a report by Deputy Tweed.

The report said the car skidded off the road in a curve, struck a culvert, went airborne and traveled across a driveway before coming to rest on its top on the lawn of a residence at 7976 Snapps Ferry Road.

Jacintogimenez was flown to the Johnson City Medical Center, where he was listed in fair condition this morning, according to a nursing supervisor.

At 4:46 a.m. today an accident occurred on West Andrew Johnson Highway about 1,000 feet east of Emerald Road.

Deputy Sheriff Adam Arrington, who investigated, said Eric Long, 21, of Paul Pettit Road, told officers that he apparently went to sleep at the wheel of the 1987 BMW coupe he was driving east on the West Andrew Johnson Highway.

The BMW, according to Arrington, struck the rear of an eastbound 1995 GMC Sonoma pickup truck driven by Christian Banta, 39, of East Wells Hill Lane.

After the collision, Arrington said, the pickup truck spun across the median and came to rest in the westbound traffic lanes.

Both Long and Banta were transported by Greene County-Greeneville Emergency Medical Services ambulances to Takoma Regional Hospital for treatment of injuries.

Also responding to the accident were units of the Town of Mosheim Fire Department.

Deputy Arrington said firefighters assisted with freeing the injured men from their vehicles and stood by with fire hoses as a precaution against the outbreak of fire.
