Out for a walk at 1:30pm -> Deadly hit and run. Learn more.

All to often, in Nashville & the surrounding area, there is literally no infrastructure for walkers.   

The photo below is so familiar for many of our roadways.  This is NOT SAFE & frankly not acceptable.  If you haven't let your  councilpersons know that safe sidewalks are a top priority - this is the time to do it.  

The deadly incident below occurred, at 1:30pm, when a husband and wife were out for a walk.  

This is a photo of the location.

PLEASE HELP!
