NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Interstate 24 has reopened in Robertson County as authorities are still investigating how one person died in a multi-vehicle crash.
Officials said the crash happened near mile marker 18. However, a criminal investigation has stunted the effort to fully reopen the roadway. Drivers are currently going up the shoulder of the interstate to keep heading west.
Two semi trucks and four passenger cars were involved in the crash.

We will update as more information comes in.
Here’s a story offering a great example of how a common cause, and a little creativity, can “intersect” to improve quality of life. Our South Nashville reporter Patsy Montesinos shares how some neighbors decided to take action, following the tragic death of a 77-year-old in a hit-and-run along Antioch Pike earlier this year. See how they used “tactical urbanism” to make the area a little safer for all.
