A three car pile up occurred on Trenton Rd near exit 1 from the I-24 W on Dec. 1, 2022 observed around 6:22 PM. This is the second night in a row traffic appeared backed up from that exit to Tiny Town Rd due to a vehicular accident. This accident drew several Emergency Response vehicles.
Another accident backed traffic up to the I-24 along the same westbound exit 1 on Nov. 30, 2022.
It is a common place for wrecks as are nearby parts of Tiny Town Rd. and Trenton Rd. Most likely, as the winter season passes, there will be more similar accidents, with added weather related conditions.
Members of the community who attended the Clarksville Montgomery County Regional Planning Commission’s (CMCRPC) first of three Comprehensive Plan Workshops on July 11, 2022 listed roads with the most traffic as the following locations: state Highway 374, Peachers Mill, Wilma Rudolph Blvd, Trenton/Needmore Rds, Clarksville High School, Riverside after the hill and major roads that shrink down to a single lane or turn. This closely matches Police data.
“The most dangerous roads for wrecks in Clarksville are Wilma Rudolph Boulevard, Fort Campbell Boulevard, Tiny Town Road, state Highway 374, Madison Street, Trenton Road and Ashland City Road, according to Police Lt. Vincent Lewis, who is over both the Traffic Enforcement Unit and the Fatal Accident Crash Team,” reports https://clarksvillenow.com/local/7-most-dangerous-roads-in-clarksville-see-dramatic-rise-in-injury-wrecks/#:~:text=The%20most%20dangerous%20roads%20for,Road%2C%20according%20to%20Police%20Lt.
“Those roads comprise more than 60 percent of our crashes per month,” Lewis said.
“And those roads had a significant increase in traffic wrecks in 2021, according to numbers from Police Sgt. Charles Gill.”
