Country singer Conner Smith allegedly struck and killed a woman who was walking in a crosswalk in Nashville, authorities say.

The Metropolitan Nashville Police Department said Smith, 24, was driving a Chevrolet Silverado pickup truck on Sunday when a 77-year-old woman was crossing in the crosswalk. Police said the woman was struck around 7:30 p.m. The woman, identified as Dorothy Dobbins, was transported to Vanderbilt University Medical Center, where she died.

"The preliminary contributing factor for this crash appears to be Smith failing to yield the right of way to the pedestrian," Nashville police said in a statement.

Police said Smith showed no signs of impairment and that there are no current charges as the investigation continues.
