NASHVILLE, TN. (THECOUNT.COM) — Markeith Miller, 42, was killed as a front seat passenger in a crash early Friday morning on Old Hickory Boulevard at Zermatt Avenue in Nashville, Davidson County, Tennessee, according to authorities.
The Tennessee Highway Patrol and Nashville Police Department reported that the incident occurred around 5:30 a.m. local time when a 2005 Lincoln Grand Marquis driven by 38-year-old Katera Johnson was traveling westbound on Old Hickory Boulevard.

The crash remains under investigation by the Nashville Police Department and Tennessee Highway Patrol. Officials are examining whether speed, driver impairment, or other factors contributed to the collision. Old Hickory Boulevard, a heavily trafficked east-west artery in north Nashville, was temporarily closed for several hours as investigators documented the scene and cleared debris.
Nashville residents and commuters are advised to exercise caution in the area of Zermatt Avenue and Old Hickory Boulevard while the investigation continues. The intersection is known for high traffic volumes, especially during morning and evening commute hours, increasing the risk of collisions if drivers fail to yield or misjudge turns.
