A Tennessee Highway Patrol trooper was involved in a crash on interstate 40 west.

The crash involved three vehicles including the trooper. It happened at mile marker 203 just before Charlotte Pike and right before construction/repaving lane closures in West Nashville. 

According to Metro Nashville Police officials, none of the injuries are life threatening.
