Three pedestrians killed in one week along Nashville interstates

Steven L. Price, 40, a homeless man from Cleveland, was struck Thursday while trying to cross Interstate 40.

Police say he was hit by two pickup truck drivers who were unable to avoid hitting him.

On Wednesday, a man who hasn’t been identified was struck by multiple vehicles and killed while standing in a traffic lane of I-40 in downtown Nashville. Police are still trying to identify the man, who they say is in his 20s.

Lexington resident Linda Charlene Williams, 52, was killed Sept. 2 while attempting to cross Interstate 24.

“The interstate is no place for pedestrians,” Nashville Police Chief Ronal Serpas said in a statement. “It is inherently dangerous for anyone to walk along or cross interstate traffic lanes.”
