Car crashes overnight into popular Gulch hotel's outdoor dining area

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.

Autistic teen creates coloring book to benefit animals, Nashville Zoo

If you're looking for a stocking stuffer, here's a cool idea from an autistic teen to help benefit the Nashville Zoo. I had a chance to see some of Will Woods' work as a judge for Bellevue's Holidays in the Vue Christmas parade.
