KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (WATE) — Knoxville Police are investigating after a man was injured in a possible hit and run.
Around 12:50 a.m. on February 2, Knoxville police officers responded to North Broadway near Old Broadway after receiving a report that an injured man was lying in the street. The man was found by officers on the shoulder of the southbound side of Broadway.
