NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Saturday night around 10:45 p.m., 70-year-old Edward Day died on the scene of a hit-and-run vehicle crash on Dr. D.B. Todd Jr. Boulevard near 17th Ave. North, police say.

He was found in the roadway by a passerby, who then flagged down a North precinct sergeant driving southbound. The responding paramedics with Nashville Fire Department reported his injuries as consistent with being struck by a vehicle.

An MNPD officer told NewsChannel 5 there was no vehicle debris, no description of the vehicle and no one saw anything initially.

Metro Police say crash investigators are working to identify the vehicle responsible, and anyone with information on the fatal crash should call Crime Stoppers at 615-742-7463.

Blind woman entertains assisted living neighbors, plays seven instruments

“I’ve never met anyone like Tennie.”

That’s how one neighbor at Stones River Manor in Murfreesboro describes Tennie Fitzpatrick, who has mastered as many as seven different musical instruments. Each day, Tennie shares those talents with residents, workers and visitors. It’s an ability Tennie herself believes is “a gift from God.” That’s because Tennie is blind, and overcame a difficult, abusive childhood.  Forrest Sanders shares this truly inspirational story.
