A preliminary investigation found that a 21-year-old man was driving a Chevrolet Tahoe east on US-22 just before the crash occurred.

A 29-year-old woman driving a Chevrolet Malibu north on Clarksville Road ran the stop sign and hit the SUV in the intersection, according to the report.

The Tahoe ran off the left side of the road and hit a ditch, while the Malibu went off the right side of the road.

The driver of the Malibu sustained suspected minor injuries but was not hospitalized.

The report lists that the woman was distracted by “other activity with an electronic device” and was cited for the crash.
