NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — A crash involving a motorcycle and a car on Sunday at 9:30 p.m. killed a 3-year-old and the driver of the motorcycle.

Police say the driver of a Buick Sedan, Delmas Wiseman III, was driving eastbound on I-40 and lost control of his car. He skidded towards the westbound lanes, and the motorcycle then hit the car's rear passenger door.

The 30-year-old driver of the motorcycle died on scene. Police say three children were in the car, ages 3, 5 and 6, and the 3-year-old who died was not in a child safety seat. The driver of the car was the children's dad, according to police. The 5-year-old and 6-year-old are being treated for life-threatening injuries in Vanderbilt Children's Hospital.

Wiseman refused treatment for his injuries. His license has been suspended.

Journalism is at its best when we can shine a light on an issue that needs more attention. Once again, Hannah McDonald does this beautifully by highlighting the hardships of teens aging out of the foster care system. I learned something new in her reporting and am inspired by the work I AM NEXT is doing to make a difference. I think you will be too!
