NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Police say one person is dead after they were hit by a car while trying to cross the street in their wheelchair.
It happened near a gas station on Lebanon Pike in Hermitage. Police tell us this is the third deadly pedestrian crash this year on the overnight shift.
Police say one person in a wheelchair was crossing the street. The driver stayed at the scene and answered questions, but he told officers that the person in the wheelchair was not in a crosswalk which was about 50 feet away from where they were hit.
That victim was taken to the hospital where they later died.

I'm not sure there is a story that's brought a bigger smile to our faces than this one celebrating Ms. Marie. The story of her service during World War II is amazing in itself — she is a true Rosie the Riveter! What was also amazing was to see was how an entire community turned out to celebrate her. You've got to check this out!
