Blown tire blamed for I-24 rollover crash

Posted:
NASHVILLE, Tenn. -

Metro police say a blown tire is most likely to blame for a rollover crash on Interstate 24 near LP Field in Nashville Monday afternoon.

Officers said the car was traveling in the fast lane around 1:30 p.m. when a tire blew causing the vehicle to strike a retaining wall and flip upside down.

The vehicle overturned several times before coming to a rest at the bottom of the entrance ramp from Shelby Avenue.

The driver of the car was not seriously injured but taken to the hospital as a precaution.

The interstate was blocked for a short time. 

The car has since been towed and all lanes of I-24 reopened.
