Nashville, TN – A 67-year-old man was killed Friday afternoon in a two-vehicle collision on Old Hickory Boulevard near Southfork Boulevard, according to the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department.
The victim has been identified as Bart Burton, a Nashville resident. Police say the crash occurred around 1:15 p.m., when Burton’s 1998 Toyota Camry crossed into oncoming traffic and sideswiped a southbound pickup truck. The impact caused the Camry to travel through the intersection, hit a curb, and roll over.
Burton was transported to Skyline Medical Center, where he was pronounced deceased. The pickup driver was taken to Summit Medical Center with minor injuries, police confirmed.
Investigators said speed may have contributed to the crash, as witnesses reported seeing the Camry traveling at a high rate of speed prior to the collision. However, officers noted there were no signs of impairment from either driver at the scene.
Authorities continue to investigate the incident as they work to determine the exact cause of the crash.
