Country singer Conner Smith allegedly hit and killed elderly woman in crosswalk

Country singer Conner Smith was accused of hitting and killing an elderly woman who was crossing the street.

The “Creek Will Rise” crooner, 24, was driving a Chevrolet Silverado pickup truck in Nashville, Tenn., when he allegedly failed to yield and struck a 77-year-old woman around 7:30 p.m. on Sunday, according to a press release from the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department.

The woman, identified as Dorothy Dobbins, was taken to Vanderbilt Medical Center where she was pronounced dead.

“The preliminary contributing factor for this crash appears to be Smith failing to yield the right of way to the pedestrian,” the police department said in the release.

“He showed no signs of impairment.”

The investigation is ongoing, and Smith has yet to be charged.

An attorney for Smith confirmed to People that he was “involved in a car accident that tragically claimed a life.”

“His heart goes out to Ms. Dobbins’ family during this incredibly difficult time,” the statement said.

“Mr. Smith continues to cooperate fully with the ongoing investigation.”

Reps for the musician weren’t immediately available to Page Six for comment.

Smith has been in the spotlight since he signed with Big Machine Label Group’s the Valory Music Co. in 2019, according to Music Row.

“I’ve always been in love with the storytelling of country music,” he told the outlet in January 2024 before releasing his debut studio album titled “Smoky Mountains.”

“I’ve dedicated my life to trying to figure out how to be a songwriter, and how to capture those same emotions that I felt as a kid growing up in this town,” he added.

“Country music shaped so much of my life.”

Smith married surfer Leah Thompson in April 2024.
