According to a statement released by the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department on Monday, the 24-year-old singer hit and killed a woman identified as Dorothy Dobbins, 77, with his Chevrolet Silverado pickup truck.
Smith — who is signed to Big Machine Records, Taylor Swift’s old label — allegedly hit Dobbins when she was walking in a marked crosswalk.

Dobbins was transported to Vanderbilt University Medical Center and died there, according to police, who noted that she lived near the crosswalk that Smith allegedly hit her.
Police alleged that a ‘contributing factor’ to the incident was Smith ‘failing to yield the right of way to the pedestrian.’
