The motorcyclist critically injured Friday after colliding with an SUV on Harding Pike near White Bridge Road has died from his injuries.
Joseph Sharbel, 60, of Nashville, was riding his Buell motorcycle south on Harding Pike in the far right lane when the northbound driver of a Ford Escape, Anna Proctor, 25, attempted to turn left into the Kroger parking lot. The motorcycle struck the passenger side of the SUV. Sharbel was transported to Vanderbilt Medical Center where he died Monday. Proctor, of Nashville, had minor injuries and was not transported.
The preliminary contributing factor to this fatal crash appears to be Proctor’s failure to yield the right of way. Upon completion, the crash investigation will be forwarded to the District Attorney’s Office for review.
