October 10, 2022 – The pedestrian killed Saturday at 1:30 a.m. on Wallace Road near Nolensville Pike is identified as a 69-year-old Nashville man. Efforts are underway to notify his next of kin.
According to a passing motorist, the man, for reasons unknown at this time, fell into the roadway. The witness began to make a U-turn to help him when he was struck by a dark colored sedan that was traveling at a high rate of speed and did not stop. He died at the scene.
There was a distinct fluid trail on the roadway from the collision. That trail led to the suspect vehicle, a 2011 gray Hyundai Sonata, parked and unoccupied at a nearby residence. A search warrant was obtained for the car to be towed and processed. There was evidence of alcohol involvement on behalf of the hit and run driver found in the Sonata and at the scene.
The investigation continues.
