Three people were hospitalized Saturday morning after a two-vehicle crash at Kirby Parkway and State Route 385 in Memphis, with a juvenile initially listed in critical condition before being upgraded. Officers responded to the scene at 10:11 a.m., and the cause of the crash has not been released as the investigation continues.
According to Action News 5, one juvenile was transported to the hospital in critical condition and was later upgraded to non-critical, while two additional people were taken to the hospital in non-critical condition. A separate report from Fox13 Memphis identified the juvenile as a female and reported she was transported in critical condition, without including the later upgrade noted elsewhere.
WREG reported that the crash, which happened on Highway 385 East in Memphis, injured three people including a minor, according to Memphis police. No information has been released on what caused the crash, and police say the accident investigation is ongoing, per the Fox13 Memphis account.
No Cause Determined as Investigation Continues
Memphis police have not released details on what led to the collision at the busy Kirby Parkway and 385 interchange, and the same account notes the case remains open. The crash adds to a string of wrecks reported on Highway 385 throughout 2026, underscoring ongoing safety concerns along the corridor.
In one earlier incident, two women were injured in a Highway 385 crash near Ridgeway Road, with officers responding around 1:30 p.m., the same Fox13 Memphis report states. A witness in that case told police a car was driving recklessly westbound on I-385 and swerved into another vehicle, causing it to lose control and crash into a third car.
Another crash on Highway 385 near Ridgeway Road left one person in critical condition and another in non-critical condition after a vehicle ran off the roadway, according to WREG. A separate two-vehicle crash at Shelby Drive and Kirby Parkway also injured three people, Memphis police told WREG in a related report.
