Nashville woman turns grief into advocacy after hit-and-run kills her brother on Lafayette Street
Clarice Wilson is advocating for safety improvements after her brother, Ronnie 'Tony' Wilson, was killed in a hit-and-run crash on Nashville's Lafayette Street. The incident occurred amid three pedestrian deaths in a week on the same corridor, prompting renewed scrutiny of the area as part of Nashville's High Injury Network roadways. Metro Nashville police arrested a 27-year-old suspect, but Wilson and others call for accelerated Vision Zero initiatives to address ongoing safety concerns.
