Peoria-area father and son killed in Tennessee vehicle crash, police say
A father and son from the Peoria area were killed early Thursday morning outside Nashville after a man collided with the back of their car while in a construction zone.
Bradley Parrott, 45, of Washington and William Parrott, 72, of Peoria, died at 1:15 a.m. after a Dodge Ram driven by Daniel Caravaca-Bonilla, 25, collided into a Chevrolet Silverado being driven by the Parrotts while they were waiting in a construction zone along Interstate 24, according to the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department.
Police said the Parrotts were attempting to merge into the far left lane of traffic along I-24 near the Rutherford County line southeast of Nashville when Caravaca-Bonilla collided with their car at a high rate of speed.
The collision caused a chain reaction that led to the Silverado crashing into an Infiniti QX50 that struck a Ford Fusion that struck a Chevrolet Malibu.
Nashville police found no indication that Caravaca-Bonilla tried to brake before hitting the Parrotts’ car. While he exhibited indicators of impairment, he refused testing, even though open alcohol containers were found in his car, police said. Eventually, a search warrant was obtained to draw blood from him, with results pending.
Caravaca-Bonilla was charged with two counts of vehicular homicide by intoxication, along with seven counts of aggravated assault and one count each of driving under the influence, handgun possession while under the influence and an implied consent violation.
He is set to appear in Davidson County court Monday at 9:55 a.m. for a review.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Big hearts, small hands! Tennessee kids are stepping up to make a big difference this summer.
First Lady Maria Lee on Tuesday announced the eighth annual Tennessee Kids Serve Summer Challenge, encouraging young students to dedicate part of their summer to helping others.
The program, part of the Tennessee Serves initiative, runs from June 1 through Aug. 1 and is open to rising kindergarteners through rising sixth graders across the state.
Participants must complete at least two hours of service across two of eight designated categories to finish the challenge, with top participants earning an invitation to a September carnival at the Tennessee Residence.
Since its launch in 2019, more than 3,500 children have contributed over 15,000 hours of service through activities ranging from park cleanups to assisting nursing homes and raising funds for disaster relief.
Registration opened Tuesday, with parents and guardians able to sign up participants and access additional details through the First Lady’s official website.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WZTV) — A bill moving through the Tennessee Legislature could reshape how pharmacies do business in the state, with CVS warning it could lead to widespread store closures.
The Tennessee Senate has passed legislation that would change the way pharmacies can operate. The proposal has been dubbed “the CVS bill” because it directly impacts the drugstore chain.
Under the bill, drugstores would no longer be allowed to negotiate prices directly with insurance providers or government programs. Instead, a third party would be required to step in.
The bill is now under debate in the House. CVS says the change would force more than 100 of its pharmacies to close across Tennessee, but lawmakers disagree.
