The man killed Friday at 3:30 a.m. in a single-vehicle crash at the intersection of Hart Lane and Ellington Parkway is identified as Ronald Botts, 37, of Nashville.
The preliminary investigation shows that Botts was driving his 2014 Chevrolet Tahoe west on Hart Lane when it appears that he was possibly attempting to enter the southbound ramp to Ellington Parkway but failed to negotiate the turn due to speed, striking a rock wall.
There were no indicators of impairment.
