NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) – A man has died after his vehicle slammed into the corner of a building early Tuesday morning in South Nashville.

Emergency crews were dispatched to the intersection of Elm Hill Pike and Poplar Street just after 5:30 a.m. on Tuesday, Jan. 17 to respond to a report of a Ford Crown Victoria that had crashed into a building.

Crews shut down a portion of Elm Hill Pike early Tuesday morning as they worked to clear the scene and continued to investigate what led to the crash.

At the scene, an officer told a News 2 crew that the driver, later identified as 24-year-old Sidney Wilson, passed away from injuries that were sustained in the crash.

Officials say Wilson was driving westbound on Elm Hill Pike when, for reasons unknown, crossed into opposing lanes, went through a parking lot and struck the corner of business located at 1325 Elm Hill Pike.

According to Metro police, after the crash, Wilson was transported to Vanderbilt University Medical Center, where he died. He was not wearing a seat belt during the crash.

It is unclear when Elm Hill Pike is expected to reopen.

Authorities say they will conduct toxicology testing to determine whether impairment was a factor in the crash.
