Authorities identified 32-year-old Randal Scott Stout, of Nashville, as the man who lost his life following a two-vehicle collision on Tuesday evening in Hermitage.
The fatal motorcycle crash took place at about 6:15 near the entrance ramp to I-40 East off Old Hickory Boulevard. The preliminary investigation indicated that Randal Scott Stout was riding his 2015 Suzuki motorcycle north on Old Hickory Boulevard when he was hit by a 2018 Toyota Corolla.

The 33-year-old female driver of the Toyota was turning left onto the I-40 East entrance ramp from the southbound lanes of Old Hickory Boulevard when the collision happened. She informed the officers that she failed to see the motorcycle before making the turn.
According to the authorities, the Toyota’s failure to yield to the motorcycle played a factor in the accident.
