NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — One person was killed and several others were injured in a three-vehicle crash Sunday evening on Highway 70 South near Beverly Hills Drive.
According to investigators, 59-year-old David Elliott, of Cunningham, was driving a blue Ford F-150 eastbound when a white Ford F-150 traveling west veered off the right side of the road. Officials said the driver overcorrected, crossing into oncoming traffic and causing a broadside crash with Elliott’s truck.
A Dodge Ram pickup traveling behind Elliott then struck the rear of the white Ford F-150, creating a chain-reaction crash.
Elliott died at the scene.
Two passengers in his vehicle were taken to Vanderbilt University Medical Center with non-life-threatening injuries.
The driver of the white Ford F-150, identified as 48-year-old William Richards of White Bluff, was transported to Vanderbilt with critical injuries. Investigators said charges are anticipated.
The 20-year-old driver of the Dodge Ram was treated for minor injuries.
Kelsey Gibbs brings us a powerful story of humanity, compassion, and love in action while showing us the hard and lifesaving work our officers do daily. Nashville is lucky to have people like Lt. Hotz wearing the badge.
