By Angela Hatton

Clarksville, TN – The Clarksville, Tennessee, Police Department has identified a man who was impaled by a metal bar during an accident Thursday. Sergeant Charles Gill says 48-year-old Robert Worley is in stable, but serious condition at Vanderbilt Medical Center in Nashville. Worley was directing a U-Haul driver whose vehicle was stuck in the mud. Worley told the driver to gun the engine. The U-Haul struck a trash bin, dislodging a metal bar, which impaled Worley in the upper chest. Gill says the incident remains under investigation.
