Tennessee driver gets in wreck, sees his home catch fire, gets ticket
By The Associated Press
ROCK ISLAND, Tenn. - Sometimes, you just know it's going to be a bad day.
Just ask Justin Hill, a 42-year-old Tennessee man. One minute he's turning in to his driveway - then he's on his way to hospital, watching his home go up in flames. Then he got a traffic ticket. Tennessee police say Hill got into a crash after turning into the path of an oncoming car Tuesday evening.
Hill's wife heard the crash and ran outside, leaving her cooking on the kitchen stove.
Within minutes, their trailer was on fire, and firefighters who had responded to the accident found themselves fighting the blaze.
The rural central Tennessee home has extensive damage.
Hill was treated at the hospital and released, but he was cited in the accident for failure to yield.
