A man was hit in Antioch late Thursday and another man was struck near the BNA a few hours later.
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WSMV) - The Metro Nashville Police Department is investigating two incidents involving a pedestrian getting hit by a car overnight around Nashville.
The first incident occurred around 11:30 p.m. on Thursday when a woman traveling west on Murfreesboro Pike hit a man in the street head-on as she approached the intersection at Brooksboro Place.
The woman remained at the scene until officers with the Metro Nashville Police Department arrived. She told officers that the man just appeared out of nowhere. The collision caused the man to flip over the vehicle’s hood and he ended up on the windshield.
He was transported to the hospital with life-threatening injuries. Officers at the scene do not foresee charges pending against the driver.
The investigation into why the man was in the street is ongoing. Detectives believe he may have just been dropped off by the bus on the corner.
The second incident occurred on the Donelson Pike entry ramp leaving Nashville International Airport around 2 a.m. on Friday.
MNPD officers said the man was transported to the hospital but his injuries were considered non-life-threatening, and he is expected to recover.
The driver remained at the scene and officers do not anticipate any charges.
The incident remains under investigation as detectives attempt to determine why the man was walking on the ramp.
