A Hendersonville, Tennessee police officer was killed last night in the line of duty. Officers say 31-year-old Spencer Daniel Bristol was chasing a suspect on foot when he was struck by traffic on I-65. He died from his injuries.

Officer Bristol started pursuing a vehicle in Hendersonville then ended in Goodlettsville when the suspects’ vehicle hit another car on I-65, and became disabled.

When the suspect vehicle struck another vehicle on Vietnam Veterans Boulevard, investigators said the driver of the car, identified as 19-year-old Kevin Jordan, was immediately arrested.

Troopers said a passenger fled the car and ran across the interstate toward the Rivergate area. Officer Bristol reportedly chased after the passenger on foot and was struck by an oncoming car. The woman who hit him stopped to help, and officials say she was distraught over what happened. He was rushed to TriStar Skyline Medical Center but died as a result of his injuries.

Officer Bristol had been with the Hendersonville Police Department since September 2015 and was recently promoted to Master Patrol Officer. Officer Bristol was a Navy veteran and leaves behind a wife and three-year-old daughter. He was with the Hendersonville Police Department for a little over four years.
