NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — A Nashville man died after a single-vehicle crash early Saturday morning on Interstate 40.
Metro police said Jayson Braddy, 39, was driving a 2002 Toyota Tundra east on I-40 around 7:15 a.m. when he entered the ramp to I-440 East at a high rate of speed and failed to negotiate the curve.
Investigators said the truck ran off the left side of the roadway and rolled over.
Braddy, who was not wearing a seat belt, was taken to Vanderbilt University Medical Center, where he later died.
Toxicology testing will be conducted to determine whether impairment played a role in the crash.
