Accident Snarls Traffic On Cookeville’s Willow Avenue

No one was injured in an accident that snarled traffic on Willow Avenue Thursday afternoon.

Cookeville Police Major Carl Sells said the accident occurred at about 1:30 p.m. the intersection of Willow Avenue and Jackson Street.

“That is one of the top 5 intersections in the city for crashes, it’s such a large intersection, such a high volume of traffic,” Sells said.

Police deemed it a “property damage” crash, meaning the cars were damaged, but no people were injured.

Traffic remained slow for about an hour after the crash while crews cleaned up the scene.
