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.
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.”
