Kira Phillips Is Fatally Struck By Two Cars While Crossing The Street, The Day After Christmas
According to a press release from the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department, the incident occurred on Friday, December 26, just before 5:40 p.m. A preliminary investigation reportedly asserts that Phillips apparently was crossing the “continuous left turn lane on Bell Road” when “she was struck by the driver of a northbound Nissan Versa who was turning left onto Rice Road.”
Subsequently, Phillips was “thrown into a lane of travel and struck by a second vehicle.”
The 20-year-old reportedly passed away at the scene.

According to WSMV, Phillips was in the middle of planning her daughter’s first birthday party when “she went missing.”
“We didn’t know anything. We were trying to reach out to her, contact her… just was kind of nervous, didn’t know what was going on because it’s not normal for her to just disappear like that,” Lateeka Brooks, the mother of Phillips’ boyfriend, told reporters.
Now, those who loved Phillips will be holding on to her memory.
“She was quiet, she loved her mom and her little sisters. Kira, she always had a smile on her face, and that’s one thing that’s gonna be missed the most, her quiet smile,” Tawanta Crutcher, a friend of the 20-year-old, told the press.
