HAMILTON COUNTY, Tennessee (WDEF) – A man has been charged with drunk driving after hitting a Hamilton County Sheriff’s vehicle last night.
The wreck happened in the 5470 block of Hixson Pike above Northgate just after midnight.
Both vehicles were heavily damaged.
The deputy was not injured.
Kalia Williams of Hixson was arrested for DUI by Tennessee State Troopers.
“This incident highlights the dangers of people choosing to drive under the influence. We are grateful this deputy was not seriously injured or killed and that no other citizen was injured by this driver’s actions. Once again, I want to stress the importance of making wise decisions by choosing a designated driver or utilizing a ride/share service rather than driving impaired,” stated Chief Deputy Austin Garrett.
