The driver of a Jeep Renegade involved in a single vehicle crash this afternoon on Pleasant Hill Road has died. Matthew Sparks, 42, of Nashville, was traveling south in his Renegade when, for an unknown reason, he failed to negotiate a slight curve, crossed the double yellow lines into opposing lanes of traffic and left the roadway.
The Renegade went into the woods and ultimately crashed head-on into a tree.
Sparks was transported to Vanderbilt University Medical Center where he died.
There were no signs of impairment at the scene.
