NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Update:
This has since reopened.

A car that struck a utility pole on Murfreesboro Pike at Parris Ave is causing delays for motorists.
The pole and wires are blocking all lanes of travel and drivers are being diverted onto Elm Hill Pike.
I LOVE Forrest's stories on the history of NewsChannel 5 as we celebrate our 70th anniversary. Here's a story I wasn't familiar with until recently. Eudora Boxley had a live cooking show in the early days of the station. She may have been the first black on air at NewsChannel 5 and perhaps, one of the first African Americans to have a TV cooking show anywhere in the country. It wasn't until her grandson reached out to me that I even heard of Ms. Boxley. Thankfully, I was able to connect him with Forest to learn more about this great nugget in NewsChannel 5 history.
