(WVLT) Tennessee Highway Patrol Sergeant Jeffrey Appleba was suspended for two days without pay because THP said he didn’t properly inventory a minivan that had crashed on John Sevier Highway, leading a tow truck driver to find the body of Michael Floyd.

The 132-page report from THP said that the first 911 call in reference to the vehicle was made about a car crashing around 1:30 a.m. on December 20, but investigators weren’t sure when Floyd, the man inside, crashed his minivan. The report said Floyd hit a guardrail and was thrown into the floorboard.

The report includes a memo signed by Sgt. Appleba that said when he looked inside the van’s window with a flashlight, he didn’t see any blood on the airbags. It also says that he believed the car had been there for an extended period of time because the passenger window was frosted and the hood was cold.

Appleba also stated that one of the 911 calls that came in said the driver had walked away from the scene, and that two other people, including one in law enforcement, looked inside and didn’t see a body in the floorboard.

Ralph McMahan, the tow truck driver for Floyd’s Wrecker Service, said he had to pick up the airbag to see Floyd.

“I opened the door of the van, reached in and put it in park, and the airbag lifted up under the steering wheel and I seen feet,” said McMahan. “I watched for a second, I didn’t see no breath, his chest wasn’t moving. I checked for a pulse, I didn’t feel a pulse, his arm was cold.”

McMahan towed the car back to the shop before he found the body. He then immediately called 911. When EMS arrived, responders used machines to determine there were still signs of life, and they administered CPR. Floyd was later declared dead at the hospital.
