Woman flown to Vandy after morning wreck identified

A single-vehicle wreck near Fairview Saturday morning sent a Cadiz woman to Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

Todd County Deputy Sheriff Patrick Turner says 34-year old Christy Poteete was southbound near the 1700 block of Britmart Road around 6:45 when the right side of her vehicle dropped off the shoulder of the road in a curve.

Ms. Poteete over-corrected and crossed the northbound lane before striking a tree. Deputy Turner says she wasn’t wearing a seat belt and was taken by ambulance to the Jennie Stuart Medical Center helipad, where Life Flight then transported her to Vanderbilt for head trauma. Police don’t believe her injuries are life-threatening.
