NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Just after midnight, a car ran into the sidewalk in front of the dining area at the Marsh House, a restaurant connected to the Thompson Hotel.
The restaurant was closed at the time. The driver was taken into custody. Police believe the driver was under the influence of something other than alcohol.
This crash happened just blocks away from an earlier motorcycle crash.
Around 11 p.m., a 38-year-old rider lost control and hit a sidewalk near 11th Avenue South and McGavock Street. He was rushed to surgery and is in very critical condition.
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.”
