An Algood city police cruiser was involved in a crash with a Chevy Blazer on Highway 70 in front of TSC Monday afternoon. According to the THP, Christopher Ferguson, 32, of Jamestown was traveling east, returning from training in Murfreesboro, when 69-year-old James Cryer of Dowelltown, driving a 2001 Chevy Blazer, pulled out in front of the police car. The impact reportedly forced the Blazer to spin counter clockwise, ejecting Cryer. The Blazer struck the curb on the west side of roadway causing it to overturn. Cryer was airlifted to Vanderbilt Hospital in Nashville, while his passenger, 78-year-old Rena Cryer of Dowelltown, was taken by DeKalb EMS to Saint Thomas DeKalb Hospital. Ferguson was not injured. The accident remains under investigation by the THP.
