A 23-year-old US-based Nigerian graduate, Oluwalayomi “Layo” Fadero, has been k!lled after a fleeing driver crashed into her vehicle in Nashville, Tennessee
According to WSMV Nashville, the incident occurred last Friday when the suspect, identified as Ray Eugene Padgett, allegedly drove into oncoming traffic while attempting to evade police, striking Fadero’s car.
Police said Fadero, a recent graduate of Fisk University, was heading into her neighbourhood along Murfreesboro Pike when the suspect’s vehicle hit her on the driver’s side, k!lling her instantly.
Metro Nashville Police disclosed that the crash followed a series of incidents earlier in the day, including the theft of a Ford F-250 truck from a car lot in North Nashville.
Investigators said the suspect rammed the vehicle owner’s car and later crashed into an unmarked police SUV, triggering a pursuit that lasted about five minutes at speeds reaching 80 miles per hour.
“At about 2:30 p.m., the suspect drove into oncoming traffic and struck the victim’s vehicle,” police authorities said.
