A couple of bystanders were able to help police catch a suspect allegedly involved in a hit-and-run along Interstate 65.
Officials with Metro Nashville Police said the victim was working on a semi on the side of I-65, right before the Vietnam Veterans Boulevard exit, when a driver in a Chevrolet Camaro swerved and struck him.
He was apparently getting back into the truck at the time of the collision.
Police said the suspect, identified as Michael Rittenberry, fled the scene.
A couple saw the ordeal and followed him until the suspect crashed on Vietnam Vets Boulevard just across the line in Sumner County.
Hendersonville police officers were able to take Rittenberry into custody.
Police believe Rittenberry may have been driving under the influence. He was taken to the Sumner County Jail.
Because the incident was a multi-jurisdictional situation, Rittenberry could be charged with DUI in Hendersonville and vehicular assault in Davidson County.
