NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Police say one person is dead after they were hit by a car while trying to cross the street in their wheelchair.
It happened near a gas station on Lebanon Pike in Hermitage. Police tell us this is the third deadly pedestrian crash this year on the overnight shift.
Police say one person in a wheelchair was crossing the street. The driver stayed at the scene and answered questions, but he told officers that the person in the wheelchair was not in a crosswalk which was about 50 feet away from where they were hit.
That victim was taken to the hospital where they later died.

North Nashville lost a passionate advocate and historian with the passing of Lorenzo Washington. I had the pleasure to get to know him while working on a story and left with a wealth of information and appreciation for how Jefferson Street shaped the sound of Music City. Aaron Cantrell shows us how Lorenzo will forever be part of that.
