911 Calls Released From Conner Smith Accident: “They Have Them Sitting Up In Front Of The Truck Now”

Heartbreaking.

Earlier this month, country music singer Conner Smith was involved in a fatal accident on the last day of CMA Fest when he struck a pedestrian near downtown Nashville.

According to law enforcement, Smith was heading north on 3rd Avenue in his Chevy Silverado as 77-year-old Dorothy Dobbins was attempting to cross the street.

Nashville authorities have reported that Dobbins – who was a local resident of Nashville – was in a marked crosswalk when she was tragically hit around 7:30 PM. First responders rushed to the scene following the incident, and the 77-year-old Nashvillian was transported to the nearby Vanderbilt Medical Center. She unfortunately succumbed to her injuries and was officially pronounced dead at the hospital.

Early reports suggest that Dorothy Dobbins had the right of way in the crosswalk, and that Smith failed to yield to her. Importantly, the police say that Conner Smith did not show any signs of impairment immediately after the crash, nor was he using his cell phone as he was driving.

As of right now, a search of Davidson County court records show that no criminal charges have been filed, but authorities report that the investigation into the crash is still ongoing.

Smith’s attorney Worrick Robinson (who also represented Morgan Wallen last year in his charges related to his chair-throwing arrest) released a statement after the accident expressing his sympathy for Dobbins:

“On June 8th, Mr. Smith was involved in a car accident that tragically claimed a life. His heart goes out to Ms. Dobbins’ family during this incredibly difficult time. Mr. Smith continues to cooperate fully with the ongoing investigation.”

And now, TMZ has obtained the 911 calls made in the aftermath of the incident.

There were several calls made by witnesses immediately after the accident, with dispatchers telling callers that they were aware of the situation and already had first responders en route.

Several of the calls refer to the victim as a male, and one reports that Dobbins was sitting up against Smith’s truck:

“They have them sitting up in the street now in front of the truck.”

Callers confirmed that the vehicle involved was a black Chevy truck, and one reported that they weren’t sure of the status of the victim:

“There was an individual that just got hit by a car, [she’s] down, I don’t know that [she’s] responsive or anything.”

Just a tragic situation all around.

Smith, who is signed to Big Machine Records, is most prominently known as an artist who rose in the country music ranks thanks to TikTok. His song “I Hate Alabama” went viral a couple of years ago, and fans might also recognize his hit song “Creek Will Rise,” or his Tennessee anthem “Orange and White.” He also released his debut album Smoky Mountains in January 2024, and he’s since made plenty of appearances at various country music festivals.

Days prior to his performance at CMA Fest in Music City earlier this month, Smith had played at the Carolina Country Music Fest. Following that, he returned home to Nashville and performed on the Chevy Riverfront Stage the Saturday afternoon of CMA Fest weekend. The tragic accident occurred just 24 hours after he stepped off the stage.

Heartbreaking for everybody involved.
