Four Tennessee Department of Transportation employees were injured in a construction accident Tuesday afternoon after the crane they were using collapsed.

The accident occurred in Carroll County, Tennessee at a bridge the TDOT was repairing on State Route 424.  The exact cause of the accident has yet to be determined.

The four men injured in the accident were identified as Ricky Sanders, Odell March, Richard Stone, and Ron Flemming.  Sanders, March and Flemming were released from the hospital Wednesday, but Stone remains in a Memphis hospital in unknown condition.  The extent and type of the men’s injuries was not released to the public.

TDOT spokesperson Nichole Lawrence stated, “We’re just hoping for the best that everyone recovers as soon as possible…It’s a testament to how dangerous these guys’ jobs are”.
