Nobody received any life-threatening injuries after a car with six people went over an embankment and into Doe River in Carter County.
According to the Tennessee Highway Patrol, this wreck happened in the Hampton community at the intersection of 19E and Rittertown Road around 3:30 Sunday morning.
THP says six people between the ages of 16 and 18 were in a 1996 Honda Civic when the driver lost control driving on 19E. THP then tells us the car went over a 40-foot embankment and into Doe River. The driver was thrown from the car, which landed on top of him and pinned him in the river, according to the highway patrol.
THP then says a man who lives nearby heard the accident, ran to the scene and held the driver's head above the water until emergency crews arrived. They then tell us crews rushed all six to Johnson City Medical Center.
We're told none of the injuries, even the driver's, are life-threatening.
