Tommy Jett, a popular radio personality in Chattanooga since 1961, was involved in a one-car accident in Rossville Wednesday afternoon. Friends say his injuries do not appear to be life-threatening, but he was severely injured.
Late Thursday afternoon, a team of surgeons at Erlanger was scheduled to pin two fractured bones in his neck and one fractured bone in his back. A laceration covered the total top of his head.
Jett's pastor, Rev. Eugene Coleman of Carpenters Cowboy Church tells Eyewitness News, "Tommy is not expected to suffer any permanent injuries after the surgery, but he needs prayers."
Jett's car reportedly hit a guard rail, went airborne and turned over five times before coming down near McFarland Avenue in the woods. It took rescuers more than two hours to extricate him. His wife Charlene has been at his side since he was admitted to the hospital. The family lives in nearby Flintstone, Georgia.
