The driver, who was from Mt. Juliet, was traveling towards Murfreesboro when the right rear tire of the SUV blew. Dallas Case lost control and the Isuzu and entered the median and overturned, eventually coming to a rest on its top.

When TN Highway Patrol Troopers responded to the scene they found the driver and a 2-year old child hanging upside down in the SUV, still restrained.

The State Trooper who worked the accident on 840 at the Wilson / Rutherford County line wrote in a report, "It is a strong possibility that this would have been an injury crash or fatal incident if the occupants were not properly restrained. Seat belts made a tremendous difference in this crash. "

Again, no injuries were reported in the accident on State Route 840 Wednesday morning.
