MURFREESBORO, TN (WGNS) - Shortly after 8:00 o'clock Wednesday (11/4/2026) evening, an 18-wheeler overturned and temporarily shut down the 600-block of Butler Drive while emergency responders worked to clear the scene and upright the overturned truck. When officers arrived, they discovered a semi-truck resting on its side in a ditch alongside the roadway. Authorities closed Butler Drive in both directions while a wrecker service worked to upright the truck and remove it from the scene. The road closure created temporary traffic disruptions in the area as crews completed the recovery operation.

Knox County voters picked these two Democrats over entrenched GOP candidates

If Knox County voters were in the only ones in Tennessee, Democrat Jerri Green would be governor. And Green's race isn't the only one that would've flipped to Democrats if only Knox County had a say: Knox County chose Democrat David Miller over Republican Jimmy Matlock to represent them in Tennessee Senate District 5 (though the county is just a sliver of that district). Voters in Anderson and Loudon counties ended up carrying Matlock over the finish line , but Miller's Knox County success is notable given the district rarely fielded a Democratic opponent when Lt. Gov. Randy McNally held the seat after he was first elected in 1986. The last Democrat to run for that seat was Stuart Starr in 2018, who got 33% of the Knox County vote. Here's how Knox County voted Nov. 3: Governor Marsha Blackburn: 42% (won statewide with 46%) Jerri Green: 48% David Hatley: 7% Lauren Pinkston: 1% Constitutional amendment to allow judges to deny bail to certain defendants Yes: 62% (won statewide with 67%) No: 38% Constitutional amendment to make property taxes unconstitutional Yes: 64% (won statewide with 67%) No: 36% Constitutional amendment to add new rights for crime victims Yes: 73% (won

Big Burgers And Sweet Treats Make This Smyrna, Tennessee Restaurant A Local Favorite

A five-patty smash burger shares a menu with lemon custard at one tiny roadside stand. That combo alone has me curious. It sounds like a dare and a dessert at the same time. The little spot sits right beside a set of train tracks. Kids can watch trains roll past while they eat. I can’t imagine a better side dish for a burger than a passing freight train.

TN groups aim to restore South Fork of Forked Deer River floodplains

Conservation groups are celebrating the acquisition of 985 acres of land along the south fork of the Forked Deer River in West Tennessee to help restore the area’s natural landscape. For more than a century, low-lying floodplains near Jackson have been drained to accommodate railways, highways and row-crop farming, exposing residents to flash floods and disrupting wildlife habitats. Kendall McCarter, chief development officer for the Tennessee Wildlife Federation, hopes to see the return of towering oak and hickory trees and aquatic species, like mussels, to help filter the river. "To think that we can bring that back to this area of the community that is really not very attractive but also ecologically lifting what is there, is just really cool," McCarter emphasized. McCarter credited a coalition of conservation groups working with area residents to secure the state’s purchase of the land. He said once the flood risk is minimized, the public can help plan and develop the rest of the project. Some of the ideas being floated include recreational trails, a nature center and new areas for kayaking. The West Tennessee River Basin Authority is developing a restoration timeline, which also includes public education about rivers and floodplains. The project

Proposal: Remove 4% sales tax on milk, eggs and bread

(The Center Square) – Removing the 4% state sales tax on bread, milk and eggs is in a proposal from Tennessee House Speaker Cameron Sexton. The bill, cosponsored by House Republicans William Lamberth of Portland and Tim Hicks of Gray, does not include a fiscal note indicating how the bill would affect tax collections, according to the General Assembly's website. If it passes the General Assembly and is signed by the governor, it would take effect on July 1, 2027, according to the bill. Local sales tax, up to 2.75%, can be added to the state levy. Depending on the county or city, the total tax is 5.5% to 6.75%. Tennessee gets roughly $800 million in revenue from the state tax, according to state finance records. Sexton told The Center Square in an interview Oct. 27, before the bill was filed, that grocery taxes would be one of the issues lawmakers consider when they convene the 2027 legislative session. "We'll look at the grocery sales tax, maybe reduce it on some items like food staples and so forth or eliminate it altogether, continue to make our state attractive, continue investing in public education," Sexton said. "I am sure there will
