NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — An investigation is underway after a car crash on I-65 South just after 1 a.m. Sunday morning.

Emergency crews responded to the scene in the southbound lanes of I-65 between Harding Place and Old Hickory Boulevard.

Metro police say 19-year-old Corban Sheridan was driving the wrong direction on I-65 South. His 2016 Toyota Corolla crashed head-on into the 2017 Audi Q7 being driven by 36-year-old Kelly Tolliver.

Both drivers died on the scene. No other occupants were involved in the crash.

The southbound lanes on I-65 were closed for more than five hours following this crash. They have since reopened.

Police have not determined why Sheridan was traveling the wrong way on I-65 or how he entered the interstate incorrectly.

Toxicology tests will be conducted to determine if drugs or alcohol or drugs were a factor in the collision.
