SULLIVAN COUNTY, Tenn. (WJHL) — Two people were injured after a crash on Interstate 81 in Sullivan County on Thursday.

The Tennesse Highway Patrol (THP) reports a Toyota pickup truck was traveling northbound on I-81 around 11:30 a.m. when the front tire of the vehicle became flat near mile marker 62.

The driver then reportedly lost control of the Toyota, ran off the road on the left, crossed the median and became airborne. The Toyota then hit a tractor-trailer that was traveling south, continued off the road and hit a tree.

The driver and passenger of the Toyota were both injured in the crash, according to THP. They were reportedly wearing seatbelts.

The driver of the tractor-trailer was uninjured in the crash.
