TRAFFIC ADVISORY
The Clarksville Police Department is currently working a crash involving a Tractor Trailer Diesel Truck that has overturned on Whitfield Road near Blakemore Dr.. We are asking vehicles to find an alternate route until the Truck can be turned back over and towed away safely. They are also trying to determine if any Diesel Fuel has leaked. Officers on the scene have set-up detours, but if you can avoid the area it would assist CPD and avoid further traffic congestion.
