Nashville, TN – A 29-year-old motorcyclist was killed Thursday afternoon in a collision on Dickerson Pike near Loraine Avenue, according to the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department.

According to authorities, Strain was unable to stop and struck the passenger side of the van. The impact caused the van to spin into a Toyota Tacoma that was stopped nearby on Loraine Avenue. The driver of the van remained at the scene and was not injured.
Police confirmed that Strain died at the scene. Investigators found no signs of driver impairment, but are continuing to determine whether speed played a role in the crash.
The incident temporarily disrupted traffic in the area Thursday evening as emergency crews cleared debris and processed the scene.
The crash remains under investigation by the Metro Nashville Police Traffic Division.
