Some passengers suffered minor injuries, but no fatalities. Details of the accident The Tennessee Highway Patrol immediately reached the scene of the accident and transferred the injured to the hospital. Due to a technical malfunction in the plane, the pilot tried to land it on Old Shelby Road, as there was no other way.
