Police said the collision occurred late on Wednesday, November 4, at the intersection of Fourth Avenue and Broadway. The two pedestrians were crossing Broadway with a walk signal when the truck turned right from Fourth Avenue, ran over both people's feet and struck one person's leg, according to MNPD. Both suffered minor injuries.

The pedestrians told investigators the truck continued along Broadway to Rep. John Lewis Way, where it stopped at a red light. They said they waved down the driver, identified by police as Ryan, who got out and argued with them before returning to the truck and driving off.

According to MNPD, the pedestrians photographed the driver and the truck's license plate, which was registered to Ryan.

Ryan, 63, is charged with two counts each of leaving the scene of an accident, failure to give information or render aid, and failure to obey a traffic control signal. A judicial commissioner set his bond at $6,000.

The case adds a high-profile name to a persistent local concern: pedestrian safety at one of downtown Nashville's busiest and most congested crossings. Broadway at Fourth Avenue sits at the heart of the city's tourism district, where heavy vehicle traffic, delivery trucks and crowds of visitors share space with people on foot.

Ryan is a well-known figure in football circles, having served as head coach of the New York Jets and the Buffalo Bills and later as an ESPN analyst. He has not publicly commented on the charges.

The misdemeanor counts against him are scheduled to proceed through Davidson County's court system. No further court dates were immediately announced.
