The preliminary investigation shows the driver of a Chevrolet Cruze was travelling south on Gallatin Pike when Miller’s Buick LaCrosse made a left turn in front of the Cruze.
The driver of the Cruze reportedly fled the scene on foot, while Miller was transported to Vanderbilt University Medical Center, where he died.
The preliminary cause of the crash appears to be the Cruze driver’s failure to stop at the red light. Further investigation is needed to determine whether Miller also ran the red light, the MNPD said. There was no evidence of drug or alcohol involvement at the scene.
