According to an update from the Clarksville Police Department on their Facebook page, the incident took place around 3:13 p.m. at 1820 Madison Street, close to the Jimmy John's location.
The scene initially prompted a significant response with closures affecting several lanes as emergency vehicles and personnel attended to the situation, motorists found their normal routes interrupted and were advised to seek alternatives, though later updates confirmed that the previously affected roadway was reopened.
