A woman was critically injured Thursday morning in a collision involving a motor home and a dump truck along a Maury County road.
The incident was reported around 6 a.m. along Bear Creek Pike at the entrance of Interstate 65 South near Columbia.
Details of the crash were unknown, but officials with Columbia police said the dump truck and motor home collided. The motor home rolled several times before coming to rest in the roadway.
A female passenger was trapped and had to be extricated from the motor home. She was taken to Vanderbilt University Medical Center with life-threatening injuries.
Neither the driver of the dump truck nor motor home was seriously hurt.
Both directions of travel were closed for several hours while officials worked to clear the scene.
Crews were forced to deal with both a chemical and biohazard situation. The crash ruptured the fuel tank of the dump truck and the sewer system of the camper.
“What we’re going to do is to neutralize or sanitize the area, as far as the biological. We will absorb the diesel and those products and then remove them from the scene," said Mark Blackwood with the Maury County Emergency Management Agency.
None of the victims' identities were known.
