Lamborghini Involved In Fatal Nashville Crash

Witnesses reported seeing a Lamborghini speed past before a fatal crash in south Nashville.  

The incident was reported Monday afternoon in the 4800 block of Nolensville Pike, not far from Northcrest Drive.

Officials with Metro Nashville Police said the driver of a Nissan Altima, Suk Rai, was killed when he failed to yield to a rented Lamborghini. That sports car was rented by Kyle Kirchner, 27, from Music City Dream Cars.

"The preliminary investigation shows that the black Nissan failed to yield to the Lamborghini traveling southbound on Nolensville Pike," Sgt. Bob Sheffield with Metro Nashville police said.

Surveillance video obtained by NewsChannel 5 shows the red Lamborghini apparently driving at a high rate of speed just moments from the crash.

A witness also claimed to see the car speeding.

"We saw the car so fast," Willie Rios said. "It was so fast, traveling more than 100mph."

Rios was working inside the body shop he owns when the accident happened. He described an emotional scene as family members gathered to figure out what happened.

"I just heard the hit," Rios said. "I didn't see it. I just heard a loud noise. A lot of people were crying because someone was dying."

At this point, police have not filed any charges. In a release, authorities stressed there were no signs of drugs of alcohol present at the scene. Kirchner was taken to an area hospital to get blood test completed, which is standard during an accident such as this.

"We'll gather all of our at-scene evidence and we'll do a reconstruction of the crash and determine whether or not speed was a factor," said an officer at the scene. "That could possibly change the approximate cause of the crash."
