Country music artist Conner Smith has been confirmed as the driver of a pickup truck involved in a tragic accident that resulted in the death of a 77-year-old woman in Nashville this past weekend.

The 24-year-old performer of “I Hate Alabama” was operating a Chevrolet Silverado on Sunday when he reportedly collided with a woman who was crossing the street.

Dorothy Dobbins has since been confirmed as the victim, according to a release shared by the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department.

Dobbins had been transported to the nearby Vanderbilt University Medical Center where the ultimately succumbed to her injuries.

According to police, “The initial indication for the cause of this accident seems to be Smith’s failure to yield the right of way to the pedestrian.” They also noted, “He did not display any signs of impairment.”

Smith showed no signs of impairment and an investigation is ongoing.

There are no charges “at present” against the “Orange and White” singer, police added.

While Smith has yet to speak out on the ordeal, his attorney has since confirmed that the singer was “involved in a car accident that tragically claimed a life.”

“His heart goes out to Ms. Dobbins’ family during this incredibly difficult time,” Smith’s lawyer told People. “Mr. Smith continues to cooperate fully with the ongoing investigation.”

The day of the fatal incident coincided with the final day of the annual CMA Fest, a four-day country music event held in Nashville.

The Post has reached out to Smith’s reps for comment.

Smith, a Nashville native, has been signed to Big Machine Records’ Valory label since 2019. The crooner released his debut album, “Didn’t Go Too Far,” last year.

He’s also opened for Luke Bryan on tour, and was nominated for New Male Artist of the Year at the 2024 ACM Awards.

Smith’s music went viral on TikTok in April, especially his single “Country in the Clouds,” a collaboration with Dylan Marlowe. Additionally, one of his other tracks is featured on the soundtrack of the film “Twisters.”

As for his personal life, Smith has been married to surfer Leah Thompson since April 2024.

The singer is currently on tour and is scheduled for several live performances across the country this summer.

Smith had shared an Instagram post on the same day of the fatal incident, which featured photos of him singing onstage.

“Hometown hits different ❤️,” he captioned the photos.
