Yesterday evening, two men were hurt in a collision in East Memphis that caused significant traffic jams on Perkins Road. The Memphis Police Department (MPD) arrived at the scene of the crash near Mallory Avenue at approximately 8:46 p.m., according to Action News 5.
Both northbound and southbound traffic were stopped after the incident, and MPD had to tell drivers to find other routes because they were unable to handle the large volume of detoured cars.One of the injured guys was rushed to Regional One Hospital in serious condition, according to FOX13 Memphis, while the other man was brought to Baptist Memorial Hospital with non-critical injuries.
As of the most recent reports, the MPD has not released any information regarding the cause of the crash. Significant traffic issues on nearby roadways are caused by the closure, which affects a large section of Perkins Road, a vital highway in the East Memphis area.
Two automobiles were involved in the incident, according to WREG. Traffic-diversion measures have been implemented as investigators have been working at the scene for hours after the collision. Until further notification is given and cleanup and investigation activities make the road safe for travel once more, MPD continues to advise the public to stay away from the area if at all possible.
