Update to Vehicle Crash Near Pedestrian Bridge on Alcoa Highway

On October 15, 2026, at approximately 3:07 p.m., officers with the Alcoa Police Department (APD), along with personnel from the Alcoa Fire Department (AFD) and American Medical Response (AMR), responded to a motor vehicle crash on southbound US 129 Bypass near the Alcoa Pedestrian Bridge.

Upon arrival, first responders determined the incident involved three vehicles. The driver of Vehicle 2 which was rear-ended, a male from Maryville, Tennessee, was transported by AMR to the University of Tennessee Hospital, where they pronounced him deceased.

The APD Crash Reconstruction Team, in coordination with the Criminal Investigative Section, responded to the scene and is actively investigating the circumstances surrounding the crash.

No additional information is available at this time. The APD is not releasing the name of the deceased to allow the family privacy.

A few extra seconds at a crosswalk can save a life. Crosswalks are where drivers and pedestrians meet, and awareness on both sides matters. A quick look and a little patience help make every crossing safer. Watch for me. I'll watch for you.
