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.
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”.
