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.

This is a beautiful story of chosen family, proving a father figure doesn't have to have biology in common to make a difference in a child's life. The story of De'Andre and Alex will remind you that our relationships help determine the course of our lives. And that being supportive of someone - through a meal, a shared experience or even swim lessons can make all the difference.
