Driver fatigue was a factor in a rear-end collision Tuesday morning on US 79 in Guthrie that injured both drivers.
Guthrie Police Sgt. Kevin Saunders says 23-year old Austin Burden of Morgantown was southbound near Novelis just before 6 a.m. when he said he fell asleep at the wheel and struck the rear of a car driven by 28-year old Amber Rosser of Lewisburg, who was preparing to turn into a construction site.
Burden and Rosser were both taken by EMS to Tennova Health in Clarksville for non-life-threatening injuries.
