SOUNDBYTE VERBATIM:

According to Shift Commander Dale Maynard, two victims (a young child and an elderly man) were extricated from a pickup truck and both were taken by ambulance to St. Thomas Rutherford Hospital in Murfreesboro.  We were originally told they would be life-flighted to Vanderbilt Hospital, but emergency crews decided instead to take the accident victims to the local hospital.  Robert Rickman WGNS news.
