Clarksville Police report Driver tries to Avoid Crash when brakes fails and Collides with a Pole
January 2, 2013 | 
Clarksville, TN – On January 2nd, 2013, around 2:30pm, Rhonda Reed, 46, was driving west on Crossland Avenue in a 94 Chevy S-10 pickup, applied the brakes prior to entering Riverside Drive, at which time, the brakes failed to hold.
To avoid hitting a vehicle stopped in front of her or entering the busy intersection uncontrolled and possibly slamming into another vehicle, she took evasive action by making a sharp left turn which resulted in the vehicle colliding with a utility pole.
