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.
As we honor those who have served our country and made the ultimate sacrifice, it is also heartening to see the military right a wrong. Chris Davis brings us the moving story of a Purple Heart ceremony two decades in the making. It's worth a watch.
A heartfelt thanks to all who bravely serve.
