Country singer Conner Smith‘s traffic collision in Nashville sparked a flurry of 911 calls … and, in one, a caller says the person who was hit was actually sitting up in the street after the crash.
TMZ has obtained audio from the aftermath of the incident … and, it seems multiple people called 911 — telling the operators a person was lying in the street after a truck hit them in a crosswalk.
One caller says the person — who they say in the call is a man, but who was later revealed to be a 77-year-old woman named Dorothy Dobbins — was actually sitting up in the street. It’s unclear if she was doing so under her own power or if a person on the scene was helping her.
Take a listen to the calls for yourself … everyone’s pretty calm, and they speak clearly while alerting first responders to the incident.
As you know … Dobbins was struck by a truck on 3rd Avenue in the city while walking through a marked crosswalk around 7:30 PM on Sunday, June 8. She was rushed to a local hospital — but, unfortunately, she passed away.
Police told us they believe Conner failed to yield to Dobbins, which may have led to the crash … but, we’re also told he showed no signs of impairment. Charges have not been filed against Smith in the case.
Conner’s attorney, Worrick G. Robinson, told us … “On June 8th, Mr. Smith was involved in a car accident that tragically claimed a life. His heart goes out to Ms. Dobbins’ family during this incredibly difficult time. Mr. Smith continues to cooperate fully with the ongoing investigation.”
