    Country music star Conner Smith has reportedly hit and killed an elderly woman after colliding with her in a crosswalk incident.

    The 24-year-old singer, best known for his hit songs Creek Will Rise and Steal My Thunder, was involved in a collision on June 8, which killed Dorothy Dobbins, 77, who was crossing the road while walking her dog.

    The incident took place around 7.30pm in Nashville, with Dobbins transported to Vanderbilt University Medical Center soon after, where she died.

    Dobbins was walking inside a marked crosswalk when she was struck, with the press release shared by the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department suggesting that Smith appeared to give right of way to the pedestrian.

    The police statement highlighted that Smith showed ‘no signs of impairment’ and no charges have been announced.

    Smith’s legal team confirmed to People that the singer was ‘involved in a car accident that tragically claimed a life.’

    ‘His heart goes out to Ms. Dobbins’ family during this incredibly difficult time,’ a statement said. ‘Mr. Smith continues to cooperate fully with the ongoing investigation.’

    Smith is a country singer who was born and raised in Nashville, Tennessee.

    He first came to fame in 2021 when his song I Hate Alabama went viral on TikTok and led to him signing with Big Machine Records, Taylor Swift’s former label.

    The artist went on to have huge success with his single Creek Will Rise, which was released in 2023 and has over 62 million streams on Spotify.

    The singer’s debut solo studio album was released in January 2024 and titled Smoky Mountains. After the release of this album, his single Creek Will Rise became the first ever number one on the UK Country Airplay chart.

    The singer has toured with Luke Bryan and featured on the Twisters soundtrack with his song Country in the Clouds, which he created withDylan Marlowe.
