NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — A Nashville man died Monday after a single-vehicle crash on Highway 100, according to Metro Nashville police.
Police said 69-year-old Robert Gerald was driving a 2015 GMC Terrain west on Highway 100 around 12:10 p.m. when, for an unknown reason, the SUV crossed the double yellow lines near Old Hickory Boulevard and left the roadway.
The SUV then crashed head-on into a tree.
Gerald, who police said was wearing a seatbelt, was taken to Vanderbilt University Medical Center, where he died.
Police said there were no indications of impairment at the scene.
September 11, 2001 is a day most associate with terror and tragedy. Austin Pollack shares a story from that day about hope and persistence: the effort to save a little girl’s life – with an organ donation. The problem? The young patient was in Houston, and her life-saving liver here in Nashville. With the grounding of all civilian aircraft, how could it be done? “Nobody ever said this isn’t possible.”
