NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) – A 9-year-old girl has died following a multi-vehicle crash that occurred on Interstate 65 early Tuesday morning.

The crash happened around 12:16 a.m. in the northbound lanes of Interstate 65 at mile marker 85.8 near Rosa L. Parks Boulevard.  

According to Metro police, a 2003 Honda Civic was traveling northbound on I-65 when it sideswiped a 2018 GMN Sierra. Police say that’s when the occupants of the Civic, a 28-year-old and two children ages 8 and 9, exited the vehicle and sat on the concrete median wall. 

Preliminary investigation shows a 2010 Infiniti G27X stopped behind the Civic after the crash. Officials say while the Infiniti was stopped it was struck by a 2020 Nissan Altima. The impact forced the Infiniti up on the concrete median where it struck the 9-year-old girl. 

Metro police identified the girl as 9-year-old Za’ryiah Floyd. She was transported to Vanderbilt Children’s Hospital where she was pronounced dead. The 8-year-old was treated and released. 

Police say two children were in the GMN Sierra at the time of the crash and were not injured. 

Officials say there were no signs of impairment on the scene. The cause of the crash remains under investigation. 

A portion of Interstate 65 was closed Tuesday morning as officers investigated.
