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.

As we honor those who have served our country and made the ultimate sacrifice, it is also heartening to see the military right a wrong. Chris Davis brings us the moving story of a Purple Heart ceremony two decades in the making. It's worth a watch.
A heartfelt thanks to all who bravely serve.
