The incident happened early Thursday morning near Spence Lane.

Sky 5 flew over the scene and showed that the guardrail actually went through the car.
WOW this crash looks bad. Guardrail into the car and one person trapped inside. They appear to be moving/talking. I-40 WB is really backing up near Spence Ln. Lebanon Pike instead #5LiveTraffic pic.twitter.com/6wkgaOzx2g
