NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Two people were killed Thursday morning in a crash involving a motorcycle and a pickup truck at the intersection of Trousdale Drive and Briarwood Drive.
Metro Police say the collision happened around 9:15 a.m. when a BMW motorcycle heading north on Trousdale Drive struck the driver’s side door of a 2009 Ford F-150.
The motorcyclist, identified as 22-year-old Nicholas Moralas Gomez, died at the scene. The pickup driver, 37-year-old Dale Clay, was taken to Vanderbilt University Medical Center, where he later died from his injuries.
Investigators say Clay was traveling east on Briarwood Drive and had entered the intersection to make a turn when the crash occurred.
There were no signs of impairment at the scene. Police say the motorcyclist had the right of way, but the investigation will also look into whether speed was a contributing factor.

The Jefferson Street Sound Museum is a great little gem in North Nashville. The founder and curator turned his home into a museum to keep the legacy of historic Jefferson street alive. Now, it's been named a stop on the U.S. Civil Rights Trail. Aaron Cantrell takes us inside.
