A single-vehicle rollover just after midnight on Highway 9 North at Cherokee Drive in Cedar Bluff ejected both occupants from the vehicle. Leesburg Investigator Jamie Chatman – who was on his way home, along with Cedar Bluff Police Officer Seth Hood and Cherokee County Sheriff’s Office Deputies on patrol in the area were first to arrive on the scene. They quickly applied a tourniquet on the driver until medics and firefighters arrived, with Cherokee EMS then transporting both the driver and passenger to Rome-area hospitals for treatment. The Cedar Bluff Fire Department also responded to the scene.
More information will be released when the Cedar Bluff Police Department accident report has been completed.
