A 44-year-old motorcyclist died Saturday night after a collision with an SUV on Gallatin Pike in Nashville around 10:15 p.m.
Joshua Parsons was riding his Kawasaki Ninja northbound on Gallatin Pike when he collided with a Honda Pilot that was turning left onto the roadway near Twin Hills Drive. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
According to investigators, there were no signs of impairment from the Honda driver. However, witnesses reported that friends of Parsons had attempted to take his keys due to concerns about his impairment prior to the crash.
