===Tennessee=== {{Main|Interstate 75 in Tennessee}} The freeway enters [[Tennessee]] directly in the [[Chattanooga metropolitan area]], where it intersects with [[Interstate 24|I-24]]. Exiting [[Chattanooga, Tennessee|Chattanooga]] to the northeast, I-75 passes through an area known for dense fog. Twelve people were killed and 42 were injured in a [[1990 Interstate 75 fog disaster|1990 I-75 fog disaster]] on that stretch of I-75 in heavy fog on December 11, 1990.<ref>{{Cite news |author= Staff |title= Safety Recommendation in reply to H-92-92 |publisher= [[National Transportation Safety Board]] |date= October 28, 1992 |url= https://www.ntsb.gov/recs/letters/1992/H92_92.pdf |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/20221009/https://www.ntsb.gov/recs/letters/1992/H92_92.pdf |archive-date=2022-10-09 |url-status=live |access-date= December 28, 2008 }}</ref> I-75 does not meet any other freeways until it overlaps [[Interstate 40|I-40]] near [[Farragut, Tennessee|Farragut]] and heads eastbound. Together, they enter the outskirts of [[Knoxville, Tennessee|Knoxville]], where I-75 overlaps itself with a different road, this time [[Interstate 640|I-640]], but only for a short time. When the two meet [[Interstate 275 (Tennessee)|I-275]], I-75 encounters some of its highest points of elevation through the [[Cumberland Mountains]], cutting through the uppermost peaks and ridges.
