Deputies responded to Rolling Hills Road last night on a motor vehicle accident with injuries.
The complainant called dispatch regarding a vehicle that ran off an embankment around 10 PM. When deputies arrived, the driver of the vehicle Michael Gladwell of Greeneville, was found unresponsive and slumped over the center console.
