NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — A motorcyclist died Wednesday afternoon after crashing into a Mercedes sedan on Hermitage Avenue, according to Metro Nashville Police.
Police said William B. Scott, 35, was traveling southbound around 4:40 p.m. on a Kawasaki ZX1 when he struck the driver’s side of a Mercedes that was crossing Hermitage Avenue from Academy Place.
Scott was transported to Vanderbilt University Medical Center, where he died.
Witnesses at the scene told police Scott was driving recklessly and speeding before the crash. Investigators said there was no evidence of impairment by either driver at the scene.
North Nashville lost a passionate advocate and historian with the passing of Lorenzo Washington. I had the pleasure to get to know him while working on a story and left with a wealth of information and appreciation for how Jefferson Street shaped the sound of Music City. Aaron Cantrell shows us how Lorenzo will forever be part of that.
