Nashville, TN – MNPD officials said the fatal accident occurred right before 7 p.m. Thursday.
It happened on Elm Hill Pike at McGavock Pike.
Metro Nashville Police Department officers responded to a report of a crash.
The responding officers discovered that the 30-year-old man was driving his Kawasaki motorcycle east on Elm Hill Pike when a westbound Toyota Corolla made a left turn at the McGavock Pike intersection.
The motorcyclist attempted to stop, but was unable and crashed into the passenger side of the Toyota.
The 30-year-old man suffered life-threatening injuries and was taken to a hospital, where he later died.
He was later identified as Timothy Pinkerton Jr.
The 43-year-old driver of the Toyota, later identified as Ayoub Mohamed, had minor injuries that did not require hospital transport.
