LEBANON, Tenn. (WTVF) — Off-duty Lebanon police officer Brendan Myers was killed in a crash on Tuesday on Aviation Way. He was a three year veteran of the department.
Aviation Way was closed for an extended amount of time yesterday until the single vehicle crash was clear. Lebanon Police were on scene, but the Tennessee Highway Patrol has been asked to investigate.
The department said in a Facebook post that, "Officer Myers was incredibly passionate about serving this city and its citizens and his love for this community was evident through his daily actions as a police officer. It’s times like these that remind us of how close knit our community is."
LPD is asking the community to keep his family, loved ones and the department in their prayers.
Forrest Sanders recently introduced us to a Nashville hero named Eudora Boxley. She was the first black woman to have a cooking show on TV in Nashville. Her grandson was precious describing Eudora and how she raised him and how proud he and the family were of her impact not only on WLAC but on a city during the turbulent Civil Rights Era. A woman who did extraordinary things at a time when history did not expect her to.
