Conner Smith Kills Elderly Woman In Crash
Conner Smith was the driver of a vehicle that killed a woman this weekend. TMZ shared the details of the crash and that he was the driver. He was driving a Chevy Silverado heading north on 3rd Ave when 77-year-old Dorothy Dobbins walked out into the street. The truck ran into her. She was in a marked crosswalk going across the road when she was hit. This happened around 7:30 p.m. CST in Nashville on Sunday, June 8, 2025.
She was rushed to Vanderbilt Medical Center, but she didn’t make it. The reason for the crash is being reported as failure to yield to a pedestrian.
