NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Police arrested a driver into custody following a deadly hit-and-run crash near downtown Nashville.

Metro Nashville police officers say 53-year-old Michelle Waller was hit by a car and the driver, 31-year-old Keith Floyd, kept going. The woman was taken to a local hospital, where she died.
