Fatal crash investigators are working to identify the hit and run driver involved in Sunday’s 12:30 a.m. two-vehicle collision at the intersection of Harding Place and Jonquil Drive that claimed the life of a 62-year-old Nashville woman. Efforts are underway to notify her next of kin.
The preliminary investigation shows that the driver of a 2012 Honda Pilot was traveling west on Harding Place and attempting to turn left onto Jonquil Drive when it was struck by an eastbound silver BMW sedan. The collision caused the Honda to roll on its side into a ditch. The Pilot’s front seat passenger was transported to Southern Hills Medical Center where she died. The driver of the Honda was transported to Vanderbilt Medical Center with non-life threatening injuries. Both occupants of the Pilot were wearing their seatbelts. The driver of the BMW fled the scene.
