A car crash in Knoxville led to the driver being transported to the hospital late Thursday morning.

A Toyota Prius driving east on S 7th St. crashed into a parked Ford Escape at the corner of S 7th and E Washington St, with the force of the crash sending the Escape up on to the curb and partially into the yard of the adjoining property. The driver of the Prius was attended to by EMS and alert while receiving medical attention, and was taken to Knoxville Hospital and Clinics via ambulance as a precautionary measure for further evaluation. The Knoxville Police Department and Knoxville Fire and Rescue were present on the scene, with both cars being towed away as undriveable after the incident.
