Clarksville, TN (August 15, 2026) – A pedestrian was injured in a hit-and-run collision on Fort Campbell Boulevard in Clarksville on Friday, August 14. The wreck occurred at approximately 8:20 p.m. along the 1600 block.

Initial reports indicate that a vehicle struck the man and left before emergency crews arrived. Investigators believe the vehicle was a black Dodge Charger.

Life Flight transported the pedestrian to a Nashville hospital for treatment. Medical staff listed him as stable with injuries that were not life-threatening.

Crews temporarily closed all southbound lanes of Fort Campbell Boulevard while investigators examined the roadway. The lanes reopened shortly before 11:00 p.m.

The Clarksville Police Department continues to investigate the crash and is asking anyone with information to come forward.

We hope the injured pedestrian makes a full and steady recovery.

Can I Recover Compensation After a Hit-and-Run Crash in Clarksville, TN?

Yes, you may recover compensation after a Clarksville hit-and-run through the fleeing driver’s liability coverage or insurance available to you. Your options depend on whether investigators identify the driver and which policies apply to your circumstances.

If investigators locate the driver, you may file a claim against that person’s insurer. The claim may seek payment for medical expenses, lost income, pain, reduced mobility, and other losses caused by your injuries.

When the driver remains unidentified or has no insurance, uninsured motorist coverage may provide compensation. Coverage under your policy or a household member’s policy may apply even if you were walking when the vehicle struck you.

After receiving medical care, notify the appropriate insurance companies without unnecessary delay. Insurance policies commonly include reporting requirements, and missing a deadline could lead the insurer to question or deny an otherwise valid claim.

To support your claim, preserve photographs, video footage, medical records, bills, the crash report, and contact information from people who saw what happened. These materials may help identify the vehicle and establish the extent of your losses.

Before accepting a settlement, consider whether it accounts for your entire recovery. An early offer may not cover future treatment, ongoing pain, missed work, reduced earning ability, or lasting changes to your daily activities.

During the claims process, a pedestrian accident lawyer can investigate the collision, review all applicable insurance policies, and handle communication with the insurers. An attorney can also calculate your losses and evaluate any settlement offer.
