Driver Crashes Into Trees to Avoid Head-On Collision in Tennessee

Jacob Ketterer was driving to a meeting when he was forced to swerve off the road and crash into a tree to avoid a head-on collision in Hixson, Tennessee.

In this dashcam video, you can see a silver sedan traveling towards Ketterer in the other lane, before it crosses over the double yellow lines into Ketterer’s lane. Ketterer said he “made the choice to drive off the road” in a split second so that he could preserve his life and the life of the other driver.

A Facebook post shared by both Ketterer and his wife, Sarah, states that the other driver continued on their way and made no effort to stop and see if Ketterer was okay. Luckily, the only injury Ketterer suffered was some sore wrists and he is grateful to be back home with his family safe and sound. Credit: Jacob Ketterer via Storyful
