A man was fatally injured after falling from a tractor trailer in Davidson County.
The incident happened around 2 a.m. Wednesday along Murfreesboro Pike, not far from Elm Hill Pike.
Officials with Metro Nashville Police said the man, identified as 39-year-old Jeremy Green, was seen jumping in between tractor trailers, holding on and then going for a ride. Authorities confirmed Green was homeless.
