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.

September 11, 2001 is a day most associate with terror and tragedy. Austin Pollack shares a story from that day about hope and persistence: the effort to save a little girl’s life – with an organ donation. The problem? The young patient was in Houston, and her life-saving liver here in Nashville. With the grounding of all civilian aircraft, how could it be done? “Nobody ever said this isn’t possible.”
