1. Yesterday, a wrong-way vehicle going down Whitesburg around lunchtime resulted in two other cars being hit and the driver suffering mild injuries. According to police, the driver of the car going the wrong way potentially suffered a medical incident. There were no other injuries reported. (WHNT News 19)
