NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — A Mt. Juliet man died after a motorcycle crash late Friday night on Briley Parkway in West Nashville, according to Metro police.
Investigators identified the rider as 30-year-old Nicholas Anderson. Police said Anderson was riding a Honda motorcycle northbound with a group of motorcyclists shortly after 11 p.m. when he lost control in a curve and ran off the roadway into a ditch.
He was taken to Vanderbilt University Medical Center, where he died a short time later.
Police said excessive speed is believed to have been a contributing factor. There were no signs of impairment 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.
