We have an update tonight on a fatal hit and run we brought to you as BREAKING NEWS last night. Police have revealed the victim's name and say the driver who hit him and kept going is still on the loose. Investigators say 25 year old Calvin Thomas was crossing Old Hickory Boulevard in South Nashville when he was hit by a truck. Although the driver of the truck took off, part of the vehicle's front grill was left at the accident scene.
"There are skid marks prior to impact to indicate the driver tried to avoid the collision," says Metro Police's Mark Denton. "There's light and dark patches up and down the street, so it's likely that he didn't see him until the last second."
Police believe the vehicle involved is a white Chevy pickup. If you have any information about the truck or the driver, call Metro Police at 862.8600.

LOUISVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- The Blount (blunt) County sheriff's office says preliminary results of autopsies on the bodies of a couple found dead in their home in Louisville (LEW'-ihs-vil) show their deaths are consistent with murder-suicide.
Marian O'Briant said in an email that it appears 54-year-old Steven Adkins shot 53-year-old Rebecca Adkins, then shot himself.
O'Briant said a family member found the bodies Sunday night. It wasn't clear how long they had been dead.
