NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — A woman was killed when she was hit by a vehicle while walking a dog in the Germantown neighborhood of Nashville Sunday night. Investigators have identified the driver as 24-year-old Conner Smith, a country singer and Nashville native.

According to local police, 77-year-old Dorothy Dobbins was walking from a dog park and was in a crosswalk when she was hit by a pickup truck. Dobbins was taken to Vanderbilt University Medical Center where she died.

Investigators believe Smith was driving a Chevrolet Silverado pickup truck north on Third Avenue North as Dobbins was crossing when he hit her around 7:30 p.m.

Police said Smith showed no signs of impairment. The preliminary cause of the crash was Smith “failing to yield the right of way” to Dobbins, the agency said in a release.

As of Monday, no charges had been filed.

“On June 8th, Mr. Smith was involved in a car accident that tragically claimed a life. His heart goes out to Ms. Dobbins’ family during this incredibly difficult time. Mr. Smith continues to cooperate fully with the ongoing investigation,” Smith’s attorney said in a statement to Nexstar’s WKRN.

Photos from a performance in Nashville were posted to Smith’s official Instagram page Sunday, but there was no statement on the crash.

Smith appeared to be back in his hometown for CMA Fest, a country music festival that took place over the weekend. His most popular songs include “Creek Will Rise” and “I Hate Alabama.”
