Metro Nashville Public Works is mourning the death of longtime employee Jerry Snyder, 60, who died tragically at 9:39 a.m. today in an on-duty single-vehicle crash on Old Hickory Boulevard in Hermitage. Mr. Snyder served with the department for 8 years as a knuckle-boom truck operator and is remembered by his colleagues most recently for his determination in the restoration cleanup after the devastating March 3rd tornado.

At the time of this morning’s crash, Mr. Snyder was traveling to recycling sites to pick up Christmas trees. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Mr. Snyder’s daily co-workers, family and friends during this difficult time.
