The Tennessee Highway Patrol reports that the vehicle may have had a mechanical breakdown or a ruptured tire, which would not allow Ervin to steer back onto the roadway.

While the accident appeared to be bad, the 31 year old Murfreesboro driver was not injured. Troopers say that he was wearing a seatbelt.
