The motorcyclist who crashed into the rear of a stopped Nissan Sentra at 3:15 Sunday morning in Nashville has been identified as a Murfreesboro man.
Metro Police say the accident happened at the intersection of Demonbreun Street and 8th Avenue South. The deceased is identified as 28 year old Phillip Steverson of Murfreesboro.
The investigation shows that the Sentra was stopped for a red light on Demonbreun Street when Steverson's 2009 Suzuki collided with the rear of the car, causing him to be thrown from the motorcycle. He was transported to Vanderbilt University Medical Center where he died.
The driver of the Sentra, Walter Manning, 42, of Franklin, was not hurt.
