NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Police believe a pothole contributed to a motorcycle crash Sunday on Briley Parkway that killed one man and seriously injured another.
WKRN News 2 reports that John LaSalle was traveling north on Briley Parkway when his 2013 Honda motorcycle hit a pothole and sideswiped a Honda Accord.
53-year-old Phillip Myatt was riding his Harley Davidson behind LaSalle when the crash occurred and had to lay down his bike to avoid a collision. He was transported to Vanderbilt Medical Center for treatment.
No one was injured in the Accord. Police said drugs and alcohol were not factors.
Potholes have been appearing all over the mid-state following the latest winter storm. See how to report potholes to local agencies here.
