Two people were injured Wednesday afternoon around 5:30 – when an 18 wheeler ran off the Cedar Bluff Road hitting 4 vehicles in the parking lot of Cherokee Health and Rehab. The occupied vehicle was pinned between the big rig and the Nursing Home building. The truck driver sustained some cuts and bruises to the head but was able to assist in backing the truck away from the pinned vehicle. Multiple wrecker and towing companies responded and assisted in getting the truck back enough so first responders could get to the victims. The Cherokee County Rescue Squad with the assistance of multiple fire department members and Floyd EMS removed the entrapped victims. The top of the Kia SUV had to be cut away so the victims could be removed.
