PORTLAND, Tenn. (WTVF) — A Sumner County student was hit by a vehicle Monday afternoon outside Portland East Middle School and was taken by EMS for treatment.
Jeremy Johnson, Sumner County's Assistant Director of Schools for Communications and Board Relations, says the student was "struck by a vehicle while trying to approach it in our car rider line during dismissal."
The Portland Fire Department, Portland Police Department and Sumner County EMS immediately responded to assist the injured student, who was "conscious, speaking and mobile while being loaded into the ambulance," says Johnson.
The Sumner County Sheriff's Office is investigating the cause of the accident.
The Jefferson Street Sound Museum is a great little gem in North Nashville. The founder and curator turned his home into a museum to keep the legacy of historic Jefferson street alive. Now, it's been named a stop on the U.S. Civil Rights Trail. Aaron Cantrell takes us inside.
