30-year-old Matthew Hils was involved in a single-vehicle car accident at the intersection of Music Valley Drive and Pennington Center Boulevard on August 16th. When officers arrived, they reported that Hils’ vehicle was around 75 feet off the roadway and that he was the only occupant. After the Nashville Fire Department arrived and extracted Hils from his car, they tended to the wound on his chin.
As officers were speaking to Hils about the crash, they reported that they smelt a strong odor of alcohol on his breath. Hils then admitted to law enforcement that he had consumed “10 drinks” at Mickey’s Tavern before he started driving. After being transported to Skyline Hospital for his injuries, Hils was charged with driving under the influence.
Matthew A. Hils of Canton Pass in Madison, TN, was booked into the Metro Nashville Jail on August 16th, charged with DUI. He is free on a $1,000 bond.
