NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — A motorcyclist was killed in a hit-and-run crash late Thursday night in Madison.

The crash happened at approximately 10:45 p.m. on Thursday, June 8 at the intersection of Gallatin Pike and Old Hickory Boulevard West. Metro police reported the 17-year-old driver, Jaxon Leasure, was taken to TriStar Skyline Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead.

Further investigation revealed that Leasure was traveling south on Gallatin Pike on his Kawasaki Ninja in the center turn lane when a dark colored GMC SUV, which was pulling out of 105 Gallatin Pike North and making a left turn, collided with his motorcycle.

Police said Leasure was traveling at a “high rate of speed” and was thrown from his motorcycle, where he struck a sign. Authorities believe the driver of the SUV initially stopped but left the scene before officers arrived.

Officials said toxicology testing is being conducted to determine if impairment was a factor in the crash at the intersection of Gallatin Pike and Old Hickory Boulevard West.

One week after the wreck, authorities announced the 32-year-old woman driving the SUV had been contacted and interviewed based on information left at the scene. As of Thursday, June 15, no charges have been filed in connection with the ongoing investigation into this deadly crash.

Anyone with information about the incident is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 615-742-7463.

This Gallatin Pike crash happened only 15 minutes before another 17-year-old boy riding a Kawasaki Ninja motorcycle was killed after laying his bike on its side and sliding through the intersection of Caldwell Lane and General Bate Drive, where he struck a guardrail.
