From Nashville Police:

The man fatally injured in this Sunday’s two-vehicle crash on Murfreesboro Pike near Old Murfreesboro Pike is identified as Antrail Robertson, 32. 

Robertson, of Murfreesboro, was traveling westbound on Murfreesboro Pike in a 2001 Buick sedan when he struck another westbound vehicle, a 1996 Mercedes 420 driven by James Watson, 57, at 4:30 a.m.  The Buick collided with a utility pole.  Robertson, who was not wearing a seatbelt, died on the scene.  Watson, of Lavergne, sustained non-life threatening injuries.

The preliminary contributing factor to the collision appears to be excessive speed on the part of Robertson.
