Neighbors are still calling for change and an arrest after police said a hit-and-run driver killed an 82-year-old woman in broad daylight.
Metro Nashville Police Department authorities said they have impounded a red truck suspected in the crash but are still looking for the driver. On Sunday afternoon, Metro police said a vehicle hit Jianzhu Yu, 82, and sped off without stopping.
I went to the Glencliff neighborhood where neighbors said they no longer felt safe.
“It’s only been a week, and we won’t let our kids out without us. We haven’t walked the neighborhood this week at all either. It’s just too soon,” said Jacob Rhoades.
What his kids don’t understand yet is why. Cars and trucks speed past his home on Wingate Avenue, barely bumping on newly installed speed cushions.
It was in the middle of the afternoon when a speeding vehicle ended someone’s life right at the end of his driveway.
“It could’ve been anyone it could’ve been our kids. For that to happen right at the end of our driveway is really scary,” said Rhoades.
