A motorcyclist has died following Monday night’s crash on Dickerson Pike at Bell Grimes Lane. The preliminary investigation indicates a Harley Davidson FLS was traveling southbound on Dickerson Pike at a high rate of speed when Goodlettsville Police attempted to conduct a traffic stop.
The motorcycle, driven by Hiram Drake, 62, fled from the Goodlettsville officer, who did not pursue. The motorcycle then ran a red light at Dickerson Pike and Old Hickory Boulevard.
A Ford F-150 pickup truck was attempting to turn left from Bell Grimes Lane onto Dickerson Pike when it was struck on the front driver’s side by the motorcycle.
Drake was transported to Skyline Medical Center where he died.
