HENDERSONVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) – A
Hendersonville man is facing his third DUI charge after he hit two pedestrians,
killing one on Saturday.
Chris Solomon, 43, is expected to be
charged with DUI, two counts of leaving the scene of an accident with
injuries, one count of vehicular homicide and one count of vehicular
assault.
According to police, he hit two
pedestrians at 1:30 p.m. as they were walking along Donmond Drive near Air
Float Drive.
Witnesses on the scene told News 2 the
couple, who appeared to be in their 30s, had just bought chairs from a yard
sale. They were reportedly going back to pick up the second set of chairs
when they were hit.
“Sounded like he hit something
substantial and I ran out to see what it was and found the people laying in the
road and he was already gone,” a neighbor told News 2.
The man was taken to an emergency room
in Hendersonville, and the woman went to the ER at Vanderbilt University
Medical Center.
Police told News 2 the male victim
passed away from his injuries late Saturday night.
According to police, Solomon did not
stop after hitting the pedestrians. Authorities caught up to him inside
his car a few blocks away.
Solomon was taken into custody and
booked into the Sumner County Jail on a $300,000 bond.
