The Okolona exit

Tennessee · USA · Road

A man and a woman were coming down this exit at Johnson City, Tennessee when their car broke down.

He got out and began pushing it up the slip road towards the main road, so that it would be visible to passing traffic.

A car came and killed them both.

What is reported on the exit follows from that.

The detail that makes this account plausible rather than legendary is what he was doing. Pushing a broken down car towards where it can be seen is exactly what a driver does, and it is one of the most dangerous things possible on a slip road at night: the vehicle is unlit, the person is behind it, and approaching traffic is travelling at speed with no reason to expect either.

No names are set down here.

The exit is a public road.
