Last night in Gatlinburg, there was significant chaos related to a car event called Slammedenuff. The situation turned violent when police deployed tear gas during a car meet, causing panic among attendees. This unrest led to the cancellation of the Slammedenuff car show for Sunday, resulting in financial losses for vendors and organizers. The cancellation was officially due to disturbances, safety concerns, and strain on public resources, but many participants viewed the decision as heavy-handed and a reflection of bias against car culture. The incident has sparked debate within the community about the future of large car gatherings in the area. In addition, there was a tragic multi-vehicle crash in downtown Gatlinburg where a woman suffered a seizure while driving, resulting in seven injuries, including pedestrians and vehicle occupants. This crash added to the turmoil in the town. Overall, the events last night included both the violent disruption at the car meet and a serious traffic accident, making it a night of chaos and concern for Gatlinburg residents and visitors.
