The state police investigation showed that a 2024 Harley-Davidson, being driven by 33-year-old Eric Green, of Bowling Green, was traveling north on Nashville Road when a 2020 Kenworth semi, being driven by 29-year-old Nugusse Yonathan, of Burien, Washington, “was exiting the Flying J Travel Center onto Nashville Road” when Yonathan pulled into the path of the motorcycle.
Green was pronounced deceased at the scene by the Simpson County Coroner’s Office.
