NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Metro police are searching for a driver involved in a hit and run over the weekend. It happened Saturday night in Berry Hill on 8th Avenue South.
40-year-old Josh Taylor was hit. Police say he is alive, but fighting for his life in the hospital. Police are using a key piece of surveillance video to find the driver of a red SUV they say is involved.
Police said Taylor was crossing 8th after he parked his car on the other side. He was walking toward the Smiling Elephant when he was hit by the red SUV. The car didn't stop when Taylor was knocked down on the road. He then was hit by a second car which did stop and stayed on scene until police arrived.

This is a story I immediately went home and showed my boys - young athletes with big dreams. The Vanderbilt football team's success has stolen the spotlight - what I love about Steve Layman's story is he reveals the individual hardships it took to get there. As Clark Lea says, "we all have scuff marks." This team proves perseverance pays off!
