NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Metro Nashville Police are searching for two drivers after a 68-year-old man was killed in a hit-and-run on Nolensville Pike.
Robert Powell was struck while crossing Nolensville Pike near the Harding Pike intersection just after midnight Monday. The impact threw Powell into oncoming traffic lanes, where a second driver — behind the wheel of a white sedan — ran over him. Both drivers fled the scene.
Powell was rushed to Vanderbilt University Medical Center, where he later died from his injuries.
Investigators tracked down a Dodge Ram pickup truck at an apartment complex on Edmondson Pike. Officials say the truck has damage that matches pieces of a vehicle left behind at the crash scene.
Police are still searching for both drivers. Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 615-74-CRIME.
