NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — A crash involving a pedestrian closed a westbound exit ramp on Interstate 24 in Nashville on Wednesday.
Metro Nashville Police said the pedestrian killed in the crash has been identified as James Jesse Box, 49.
Police said Box was attempting to cross the I-24 West entrance ramp to I-65 South when he was struck. Officers initially said the man was not carrying identification.
A preliminary investigation shows a 30-year-old driver of a Mitsubishi Mirage struck Box.
The driver stopped immediately and reported that due to the rain and nighttime conditions, he did not see Box until it was too late.
Police said there were no signs of impairment at the scene.
As a parent, staying one step ahead of the "bad guys" is getting increasingly tough due to the vast landscape of the online world. Like me, if you are raising kids - Phil Williams' latest investigation is a must see. I appreciate the knowledge and practical steps he delivers in this report.
