Child hurt in wreck

Oak Ridge firefighters and police officers, along with the Anderson County
Emergency Medical Service, were called to Vermont Avenue near the corner of
Venus Road Friday afternoon when a child riding a bicycle was hit by a sport
utility vehicle. Jordan Trentham, 11, 112 Wakeman Road, rode off Venus Road
shortly after 3:25 p.m. into the path of a 1999 Chevrolet Tahoe driven by
Samantha L. Cox, 355 Half Moon Road, Oliver Springs. Trentham was not wearing a
helmet and sustained injuries. He was taken by ambulance to Methodist Medical
Center of Oak Ridge.

---Jordan is my neighbor.. She was also taken to University of Tennessee hospital via lifestar as the local hospital was not equipped for this type of trauma.. It's now a big mess with the insurance wanting Jordan to admit that she was in the wrong. Jordan and her friends who were with her said they did stop at the stop sign and the driver and the car behind the driver said no Jordan didn't stop.. So lawyers are now involved.. It's a unfortunate mess.. ----
