BULLS GAP — A Bulls Gap woman was hospitalized after a one-car accident on Highway 66 South late Monday afternoon.

    According to Tennessee Highway Patrol Trooper Jim Lee, Charlene Ratliff, 58, Quillen Avenue, Bulls Gap, was driving her 2006 Pontiac Grand Am GT on Highway 66 South around 4:30 p.m. when she lost control of the vehicle near South Fork Road, crossed the center line and crashed into the embankment on the northbound side of the road and overturned.
