NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — A pedestrian died overnight after being hit by a train in South Nashville.
Metro Police say it happened just before 1 a.m. this morning on the train tracks near Currey Road and Mill Creek.
Officials stated that a woman was lying on the the tracks as the train rounded and was in the process of getting up, but the train was unable to stop before impact.
The victim died at the scene.
September 11, 2001 is a day most associate with terror and tragedy. Austin Pollack shares a story from that day about hope and persistence: the effort to save a little girl’s life – with an organ donation. The problem? The young patient was in Houston, and her life-saving liver here in Nashville. With the grounding of all civilian aircraft, how could it be done? “Nobody ever said this isn’t possible.”
