A motorcyclist has died following today's 2:20 p.m. crash near the intersection of Murfreesboro Pike and Pineway Drive. The preliminary investigation indicates a Buick Envision was traveling inbound on Murfreesboro Pike when it started to make a left hand turn and was struck by an outbound Suzuki Hayabusa motorcycle on the front passenger side.
The motorcyclist, Charles Cromwell, 49, was separated from the Suzuki. He was transported to Vanderbilt University Medical Center where he died.
The Buick continued into the nearby gas station parking lot and struck a light pole. The 71-year-old driver was also transported to Vanderbilt with non-life threatening injuries.
There were no signs of impairment at the scene on part of either driver.
