Nashville, TN – A Nashville man was killed in a single-vehicle crash on Pleasant Hill Road this afternoon, prompting a traffic alert for local drivers and authorities.

According to the Metro Nashville Police Department, the incident occurred Monday when Matthew Sparks, 42, was traveling southbound in a Jeep Renegade. Investigators allege Sparks failed to negotiate a slight curve, crossed double yellow lines into opposing lanes, and left the roadway before crashing head-on into a tree.

Emergency responders transported Sparks to Vanderbilt University Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead. Authorities said the crash was reported around midday and temporarily disrupted traffic in the area as police and fire crews responded.

According to the police report, there were allegedly no signs of impairment at the scene, and investigators continue to look into what may have caused Sparks to lose control of the vehicle. The department urges drivers to use caution along Pleasant Hill Road while the investigation is ongoing.

No additional injuries were reported, and police have not announced any road closures as of this evening.
