Driver May Not Be Charged



It appears the driver whose vehicle struck a number of hikers on parade in Damascus, in Washington County last Saturday, won’t be charged.
Damascus Police Chief Bill Nunley said the driver, 87-year-old Deward Blevins of Shady Valley, Tenn., had a medical issue that caused him to lose control of his car. Nunley says authorities haven't found any criminal intent.
Blevins remains hospitalized in stable condition while most of the injured hikers were treated and released last Saturday.
