TENNESSEE — A motorcyclist was killed in a two-vehicle crash Friday afternoon in Nashville, according to Metro Nashville Police.
Police identified the victim as 59-year-old Randall Abernathy Sr.
Investigators said Abernathy was riding a 2025 Harley-Davidson Road Glide southbound on Bell Road when the driver of a Ford Escape turned onto Bell Road from Nashboro Boulevard, colliding with the motorcycle.
Abernathy was taken to Vanderbilt University Medical Center, where he later died from his injuries.
According to police, the driver of the Ford Escape turned right on red. Investigators said it is unclear whether Abernathy was traveling straight in a right-turn-only lane or whether he had the right of way at the time of the crash.
Police said there were no signs or indications of impairment by either driver.
The crash remains under investigation.
