NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — One person is dead following a wrong-way crash on I-65 North early Thursday.
The crash happened at around 2:30 a.m. near the Vietnam Veterans Boulevard exit.
According to police, 54-year-old Roger Roland was driving his Ford Ranger pickup south in the northbound lanes when he struck a semi head-on.
He died at the scene.
The 50-year-old driver of the semi was transported to Skyline Medical Center with non-life threatening injuries.
During the crash, a wheel came off and struck a Goodlettsville Police officer's vehicle. That officer was not injured.
Here’s a beautiful story of how one mother turned her grief journey into a gathering of gratitude… and organ donation awareness.
Robb Coles highlights a special event organized by Cari Hollis – whose 26-year old son Austin died two years ago. Austin agreed to be an organ donor – and that single gesture saved multiple lives.
Cari reached out to as many recipients she could find – several of whom traveled to Nashville for an emotional celebration in Austin’s honor. One woman – whose life was saved by receiving Austin’s lungs – put it simply: “He’s my angel”.
