    People who knew Smith from the start have characterized the event in a way that was sad, saying that he was neither inebriated nor distracted at the time. Police have determined that he wasn’t drunk or using his phone when the incident happened.

    After this event, Nashville officials have started making the crossing safer. The Daily Mail says that a lot of safety signs have been placed to help people find the crossing, and a tree that used to impede vehicles’ view has been cut down.
