Knoxville, Tenn. — A frightening incident unfolded overnight as a massive tree crashed into a home in East Knox County, leaving one person injured. The incident occurred amid a round of severe storms sweeping through the area.
Residents in the 5900 block of Edmondson Lane were startled when the tree fell. Emergency services, including fire crews, rushed to the scene after receiving distress calls. The crews discovered a very large tree had completely compromised the structure of a house, trapping one person inside.
Rescuers worked diligently to free the individual from the rubble. After a meticulous and careful effort, they succeeded in rescuing the trapped person. The injured individual was then swiftly transported to the hospital, where they are being treated for what are reportedly non-life-threatening injuries.
This incident is a stark reminder of the dangers posed by pop-up storms. It’s important to heed weather warnings. “These storms can be extremely dangerous. It’s crucial to monitor your weather apps, radio, and television for updates,” they said.
Weather forecasts indicate that scattered storms will continue to affect East Tennessee throughout the day. Residents are urged to stay alert and take necessary precautions to ensure their safety.
