NC truck driver found dead in rig near East Nashville truck stop

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — An 'over-the-road' truck driver from North Carolina was found dead in his rig Monday with a gunshot wound.

According to Metro police, David White, 37, was found in the cab of a semi-truck parked on Lucas Lane next to Love's Travel Center in East Nashville.

A travel center employee reportedly found White unresponsive after members of his company asked for a welfare check when they could not reach White, who was last seen buying food from the travel center Sunday around 7:20 p.m.

Anyone with information about this investigation should call Nashville Crime Stoppers at 615-742-7463. Callers can remain anonymous and qualify for a cash reward up to $5,000.

Adventures in Iceland: Tourists credited with saving Iceland after economic collapse

My friend and colleague Carrie Sharp had a lot of fun last week, on an adventure to a country more than three thousand miles away! She’s back now – sharing her Adventures in Iceland through stories, and incredible images of this remarkably beautiful and unique island nation (kudos to Chief Photographer Catherine Steward)! But did you know Nashville has something very important in common with Iceland? Tourism! Here, Carrie explains how a volcanic eruption decades ago helped save the country’s economy from collapse!
