The singer of “Creek Will Rise” Conner Smith led a 77 -year -old woman at a pedestrian crossing, which resulted in his death, Nashville police said Monday.

The victim was identified as Dorothy Dobbins. She was urgently taken to the Medical Center of the University of Vanderbilt, where she died, according to the police.

“The preliminary contributing factor for this clash seems to be Smith not to give the right of passage to the pedestrian,” said the police statement. “It showed no signs of disability. There are currently no positions as the investigation continues.”

Dobbins was walking her dog from a dog park when Smith hit her in a truck, WKRN reported.

Worrick Robinson, a lawyer from Smith, confirmed the singer’s participation in the fatal “car accident.” He told Billboard in a statement:

“His heart is with Mrs. Dobbins’s family during this incredibly difficult time. Mr. Smith continues to fully cooperate with the ongoing research.”
