Conner Smith Charged in Fatal Nashville Crash
Country singer Conner Smith, 24, has been charged with a Class A misdemeanor for failure to yield the right of way resulting in death after he struck and killed 77-year-old Dorothy Dobbins in a marked Nashville crosswalk on June 8. Dobbins, a retired lawyer and community advocate, died after being transported to Vanderbilt University Medical Center. Police found no evidence of impairment or distraction, and Smith remained at the scene to render aid until paramedics arrived. Smith, who has expressed deep remorse and pledged to support pedestrian safety, is scheduled for booking on August 7. The misdemeanor charge, reflecting a lack of criminal intent, has sparked discussion about penalties for fatal traffic incidents. In response, Nashville officials and the community have improved safety at the crosswalk by adding clearer signs and removing visual obstructions.
