NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Police have arrested a man after he allegedly killed a motorcyclist and a toddler in a car crash back in August on Interstate 40 in Bellevue.
Metro Nashville Police Department investigators charged Delmas Wiseman, 45, with two counts of vehicular homicide and two counts of child endangerment.
Authorities said Wiseman was allegedly traveling eastbound on Interstate 40 when he lost control of his Buick, striking and killing the motorcyclist, Jacob Rhea, 30. As a result, police said the results of the crash killed his 3-year-old daughter, who was not in a child safety seat.
Traffic investigators said the evidence showed Wiseman only hit the brakes for one second and then let off the brakes prior to the crash. Investigators said two other kids were in the Buick during the crash. The 5-year-old and 6-year-old didn't have life-threatening injuries from the crash.
Police arrested Wiseman on Sunday. He is still in jail on a $70,000 bond.

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”.
