THP: 3 juveniles, 1 adult injured in I-81 crash Sunday
SULLIVAN COUNTY, Tenn. (WJHL) — Three juveniles and one adult were injured in a crash on Interstate 81 in Sullivan County near mile marker 63 on Sunday at 4:38 p.m. According to a report from the Tennessee Highway Patrol (THP), a Chevrolet Suburban pulling a camper was traveling in the right lane of I-81, while a Range Rover was traveling in the left lane. The report said the Chevrolet switched lanes due to a vehicle on the right shoulder of the roadway. The Chevrolet then struck the Range Rover's right side with the left side of the camper. The collision caused both vehicles to leave the left side of the roadway and enter the median, THP said. The Chevrolet, with the camper still attached, reportedly rolled once and came to a stop on its wheels, while the camper came to a rest on its side. The Range Rover stopped in the median of the interstate. The THP report said four individuals in the Chevrolet were injured in the crash, including three juveniles and one adult. The report said all parties were wearing seatbelts and that no charges are pending as a result of the crash. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Successful day for the Southern Indiana Adoption Event in Sullivan County
SULLIVAN COUNTY, Ind. — Over in Sullivan County shelters all across the Wabash Valley partnered up on Saturday for the Southwestern Indiana Adoption Event. The event provided the opportunity for local shelters and rescues to help animals find their forever homes. Today, six shelters and rescues from around the area teamed up at the Sullivan County 4-h fairgrounds to provide discounted fees, vaccinations and same day take home for those wanting a new furry friend. Organizers of the event say often times people may choose not to go to a shelter so having an event like this makes the experience better. 'What is the actual temperament of the dog. Cause dogs that can handle this kind of environment tend to be a little more people friendly. They're easier to work with and things like that, so it's a good time for people to see what the dog might really be like,' said Swaim. If you missed out on the event, there are still plenty of dogs and cat waiting to be adopted from shelters and rescues across the area. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Sullivan County remembers fallen soldiers at Memorial Day event
BLOUNTVILLE, Tenn. (WJHL) – For decades, thousands of Americans have fought to protect our nation's freedom, but not all made it home. 'It's not about us veterans who are home,' said Todd McKinley, an Army veteran and member of the Sullivan County school board. 'This is for those who didn't make it home.' In Sullivan County, dozens gathered on Monday to honor those lost during military service. McKinley said he was touched by the crowd. 'You had some elected officials show up, which is part of their duty,' he said. 'But at the same time, you had just regular civilians and veterans showing up just to pay homage and pay their respects.' The keynote speech was given by retired Marine and Kingsport Chamber President Miles Burdine. County Commissioner and Navy veteran Gary Stidham said he invited Burdine to speak on behalf of those who did make it home. 'One of those veterans out there that is on an island by themselves, now know that they're not on that island by themselves,' he said. 'And it may get them to seek help for their personal PTSD.' Burdine said the service was a true tribute to fallen soldiers. 'The singing of the national anthem, the gun salute, the taps,' he said. 'All of it is meant to remember those who gave it all.' For the three men, it's important to remember the reason behind Memorial Day. 'We are honoring and remembering those who fell in battle so that our families could enjoy today,' Burdine said. 'Could go to the beach, to have the freedom to enjoy a picnic, to enjoy the freedom to have a barbecue.' 'A lot of blood was shed for us to be able to be free, to stay free,' Stidham said. 'But if they would just take a moment and just say a little prayer for those families that have lost, I think that would be significant enough.' The ceremony was held at Sullivan County Veterans Park, which opened in November 2024. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
