Up and coming country artist Conner Smith was involved in a fatal collision Sunday night when he struck 77-year-old Dorothy Dobbins as she crossed the street.

She was in a designated crosswalk when she was hit by Conner's truck. The victim was transported to Vanderbilt University Medical Centre, where she died of her injuries. According to police, Connor showed no signs of impairment. No charges have been filed, but authorities believe that he failed to yield the right of way to Dobbins. Conner released a statement through his lawyer that read, "On June 8th, Mr. Smith was involved in a car accident that tragically claimed a life. His heart goes out to Ms. Dobbins' family during this incredibly difficult time. Mr. Smith continues to cooperate fully with the ongoing investigation."
