A prominent Jersey Shore attorney was killed while crossing a street in Nashville early Saturday morning.
Metropolitan Nashville police said Michael O’Connell, 53, was killed by a pickup truck while crossing a street inside a crosswalk around 1 a.m.
The driver, identified by police as Joey Nixon, 36, of Waverly, Tennessee, was making a left turn from 12th Avenue onto Broadway and kept going but then returned, according to police.
Nixon had the green light but under Tennessee law should have yielded to O’Connell who had a walk light to cross. Nixon was charged with a failure to yield right of way.
Witnesses told police that Nixon had been spinning his tires and speeding before the crash but did not show any signs of impairment.
The case will be reviewed by the District Attorney’s Office.
