NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — A tragic incident occurred Sunday night in the Germantown area of Nashville when a woman was fatally struck by a vehicle while she was out walking a dog. The driver involved has been identified as Conner Smith, a 24-year-old native of Nashville and a country music artist.

According to authorities, Dorothy Dobbins, aged 77, was leaving a dog park and using a crosswalk at the time of the accident when she was struck by a pickup truck. Dobbins was taken to Vanderbilt University Medical Center but unfortunately succumbed to her injuries.

The investigation suggests that Smith was operating a Chevrolet Silverado pickup truck, heading north on Third Avenue North, where he collided with Dobbins as she crossed at approximately 7:30 p.m.

Police said Smith showed no signs of impairment. The preliminary cause of the crash was Smith “failing to yield the right of way” to Dobbins, the agency said in a release.

As of Monday, no charges had been filed.

“On June 8th, Mr. Smith was involved in a car accident that tragically claimed a life. His heart goes out to Ms. Dobbins’ family during this incredibly difficult time. Mr. Smith continues to cooperate fully with the ongoing investigation,” Smith’s attorney said in a statement to Nexstar’s WKRN.

Photos from a performance in Nashville were posted to Smith’s official Instagram page Sunday, but there was no statement on the crash.

Smith appeared to be back in his hometown for CMA Fest, a country music festival that took place over the weekend. His most popular songs include “Creek Will Rise” and “I Hate Alabama.”
