A two car head-on collision at 8:30 p.m. Wednesday on Briley Parkway at Airways Boulevard in Nashville killed a Murfreesboro man and sent eight others from LaVergne, Tennessee to the hospital.
Riley died at the scene.
Johnson had a total of seven passengers, one adult and six children. The children range in age from 3 months to 13 years. Johnson was critically injured, as were three of the children, a 3-month-old, an 8-month-old, and a 13-year-old.
It has not been determined why Riley was driving the wrong way on Briley Parkway. A blood sample from him will be tested by the Medical Examiner’s Office to determine whether alcohol or drugs were a factor.
