DAVIDSON COUNTY, Tenn. — A crash involving two motorcycles and a sedan shut down Interstate 24 westbound near Haywood Lane Friday night, leaving two motorcyclists dead.

According to investigators, 26-year-old Terrell Robins Jr. of Elizabethtown, Kentucky, struck the rear of the Versa on his Suzuki motorcycle. The impact caused the sedan’s driver to lose control, cross lanes, and hit the second motorcycle, a Honda.
Robins was transported to Vanderbilt University Medical Center, where he died. The second rider 20-year-old Armando Zavala has died at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.
Police said there were no signs of impairment from any driver. Both motorcyclists were wearing helmets. Investigators are working to determine whether the riders were racing.
