A wreck on Interstate 24 in Nashville killed a Hopkinsville man Thursday afternoon.
Nashville Police say a 72-year-old Hopkinsville man, who was a passenger in a vehicle that had two flat tires, was trying to find a mile marker to give a wrecker service when he was hit.
The driver of the vehicle that the Hopkinsville man got out of reportedly stated that motorists stopped, got out of their vehicles, and then drove off.
Police say that after the crash, someone called in who thought they had hit a deer, but crash investigators do not believe that the driver who called in struck the man first.
The Hopkinsville man’s name has not been released.
