A University School of Nashville administrator has been charged following a Saturday morning hit-and-run crash on Natchez Trace Parkway that injured a cyclist.

Marshall Grant Neely III, 58, of Franklin was arrested Saturday evening and charged with felony reckless endangerment, leaving the scene of an accident, failure to immediately notify of an accident and failure to render aid, said the National Park Service, in a Facebook post.

Park rangers will meet with the U.S. Attorney's Office to consider additional federal charges, the National Park Service said.

Authorities identified Neely as the driver of a black Volvo that struck cyclist Tyler Noe of Nolensville on the Natchez Trace Parkway in Williamson County. The Volvo hit Noe at about 11 a.m. and left the scene. Noe has serious but not life-threatening injuries.

"He looks awful, but he is going to be OK," said Greg Goodman, who was riding alongside Noe and captured the wreck on camera. (WARNING: Video contains explicit language).

Goodman, who is also from Nolensville, shared the footage with investigators. It helped authorities, including U.S. Park Rangers and Williamson County Sheriff’s deputies make the arrest.

Neely was booked into the Williamson County Detention Center Saturday night and his bond was set at $11,500. He posted bond Sunday morning and was released, said Sharon Puckett, spokeswoman for the Williamson County Sheriff's Office.

Jail records show that Neely is an employee of the University School of Nashville, Puckett said. On Saturday night, the private school's website listed Neely as a dean of students. As of Sunday morning, his information was not on the school's website.

Neely was placed on a leave of absence Sunday while the school investigates what happened, said school spokeswoman Juanita Traughber in a statement.

He started working at the school in 1995 and served as the dean of students for the school before moving to a part-time role this summer. He is also a parent of two alumni.

"All other matters related to his employment are confidential. We appreciate the work of law enforcement on this matter and will cooperate fully with their investigation," Traughber said. "Our thoughts are with the cyclist and his family as well as the Neely family during this difficult time."

The Volvo hit Noe near the northern terminus of the 444-mile scenic road, which is a designated bike route. The Natchez Trace Parkway is administered by the National Park Service.

Acting Chief Ranger Calvin Farmer shared the rules of the road in a statement Sunday, and said that bicycle traffic "increases dramatically" on weekends and holidays.

"In Mississippi and Tennessee, bicyclists are allowed to use the full lane of traffic to ride in when necessary. Federal regulations require bicyclists to ride single file, and riders are encouraged to move to the right to allow for vehicles to pass," Farmer said. "It is also highly recommended riders wear high-visibility clothing and flashing front and rear lights. Vehicle drivers must provide a safe distance when overtaking and passing a bicyclist."

Goodman, 48, knew he and Noe were allowed to ride in the lane on the parkway. But as Goodman and Noe approached a curve in the road about eight miles south of the Highway 96 bridge, an SUV smashed into the back of Noe's bicycle, sending him sprawling to the pavement as the driver sped away without stopping.

"It was Tyler's first day to ride a bike since he was a kid," Goodman said. "On the Natchez Trace, you’re allowed to ride in the lane. There’s signage we are allowed to ride in the lane, not just the shoulder."

While the circumstances of the collision are unclear, Goodman believes it wasn't an accident, and was planning to meet with federal authorities Sunday morning.

"He decided to hit Tyler. And Tyler just got sent home. He’s going to be OK, and he’s banged up pretty bad."

I have no doubt the cyclists were riding single file and not two or three abreast while going 20 MPH below the post speed limit and impeding the flow of traffic. Much like sport bike riders, cyclists are innocent little lambs who never agitate and always share the road as they insist every one else must do.

Jorr's my guy and all but cyclists are the goddamn worst. If they are wearing the whole Lance Armstrong costume I think you should be allowed to legally murder them.

I have no sympathy for these bikers, there are tons of thousands of bike paths and trails, stay off the ducking streets.

_________________

These motherfuckers in their SUVs are the worst. They're in a big fuckin' hurry when they're behind a guy on a bike but God forbid they come to a place where there's an 1/8 inch bump in the road- and never mind that they're in a fuckin' vehicle that can traverse the surface of the moon- all of a sudden they're no longer rushing and they slam the brakes and slow-roll over it like they're driving a fragile teacup.

If I ever see that sonuvabitch driving that piece of shit SUV with firefighter memorial plate ENG 78 who actually attempted to hit me with his truck I'll ballbat that motherfucker.

In more positive news, last Friday I was heading west down Lunt coming up to the light at Western. You can never be sure which way these asswipes are going because most don't bother to use their directionals. But the line waiting for the light was about eight deep so I figured at least one guy was going to be making a left. It gets tight up there so it's difficult for a guy in a giant truck to slide through to the right of the left turner. So if there is traffic heading east one guy making a left can kill an entire green light. So I rode up the inside, although I know it isn't the greatest idea. When I got right up to Western, sure enough there was a guy turning left and a guy in an SUV who wanted to go straight but didn't have enough room. I was shooting through when the guy in the SUV squeezed out and ran me onto the sidewalk. I wasn't mad because I knew I shouldn't have done what I did. When I got to Rockwell the SUV was pulled over and the driver started calling me over. I actually didn't even know it was the same guy. I rode over and he apologized for running me off the road. I assured him it wasn't his fault and apologized to him for riding like an asshole.

I know you don't think so, but that's really dumb. If half the people in their gas guzzlers were on bikes instead your commute would be much quicker. A bicycle is a legal road vehicle in all fifty states. Stop driving like a fucking asshole and give me my three fucking feet.

I don't think cyclists should die but they suck if the road isn't designed for them to be there. Also, most of them aren't "commuting" and limiting congestion. They are joyriding unless you can show up to your job in spandex.

In the modern IT field I'm sure spandex in the office may even be encouraged. It probably makes it easier to play vigorous foosball on the office table.

Well, now wait a minute.

If half the people in cars changed to bicycles are entire economy and society would be so different that it's not worthy of a hypothetical parallel.

And cocaine is illegal in all 50 states but it's a lot better time than riding a bycicle around the neighborhood so don't give me that legal argument bullshit when I know you don't even believe it.

I'm not sure what you mean by "designed". Most roads were designed for horses. What part of "bikes are legal road vehicles in all 50 states" is difficult for you to understand? Maybe your license should be revoked since you seem to be unaware of the Rules of the Road. I do agree that if a road has restrictions against bike traffic no bikes should be there.

It would be different in a positive way.

I don't even disagree. I'm just saying the commute time isn't the way to argue that because it would be irrelevant.

I think you and anyone should be allowed to ride your bikes basically wherever the fuck you want. Just realize a 2 ton vehicle will always necessarily have the right of way if it wants to and if the driver is only considering himself, which most people are.

Huh? Virtually every road is designed for car traffic. Some roads started off as horse trails but they have been redesigned to handle car traffic. There is a reason modern road design is now incorporating bike lanes or even bike trails that run parralel. If they lack those then cyclists make driving more difficult. I understand legally that bikes are allowed. Maybe you need to read up on modern road design if you didn't understand the concept that many roads aren't designed for bikes even if they are allowed on there.

The "its legal so it's ok to do" is a very poor defense. I don't even say this in a political/libertarian way. I'm certain all of us regardless of political persuasion can agree many legal things if done could piss us off. It's not a great argument.

I'm well aware. Anyone who rides better be.

If cyclists really want us to "share the road", then they should stop at stop signs and red lights just like drivers do.

_________________

They actually don't make it more difficult. They just make you more emotional. For example, if it was a slow moving ten ton truck that takes 30 seconds to get up to 10 mph at every light, you would just accept that you're behind a slower vehicle and wait to safely get past it instead of flipping your shit like you do when you're behind a bike.

I agree, but are you really suggesting that all drivers of motor vehicles regularly follow the Rules of the Road? You're required to give me three feet.

_________________
Freedom is our Strength.

I didnt say all drivers follow all rules all the time.

All bikers do not follow the rules at stop signs and red lights.

Cyclists definitely breaks the rules more, but I don't even give a shit about that. Go where you want when you want. Just stay out of my way.

That makes it difficult too. It happens much less than having to deal with a cyclist though. I think it's also a little different when one person is accomplishing a job and the other person is simply having a fun bike ride looking at the views of a subdivision.

The thing that worries me most about bikers is me inadvertently crushing them under my car just because they think a huffy and a SUV belong in the same space. I ain't gonna hear your little bell, bitch. Just invest in an indoor bike cardio machine or find a park with a bike trail. When you want to get on an actual road and you're not able to go at least 50/mph then you're doing it wrong.

I saw the video and yes the driver should not have left the scene, but that asshole cyclist was out in the middle to left side of the lane (instead of the side of the road) and doing so on a curve where the driver had no chance of seeing him.

Cyclist is a future Darwin Award winner

That's the thing too. Bike trails are all over the place now. Go ride there. Go ride roads that have dedicated bike lanes or parallel bike trails. I understand if you need a bike to get to a grocery store or work because you can't afford a car but a large majority of these people are not doing anything like that. The idea of bikes and cars co-existing is a remnant from the early days of cars when they went roughly the same speed anyways.

JORR lives in Chicago. Go ride on the lakeshore.

You think he didn't see him? I think he hit him on purpose. People like BRick get emotional when a bike is in front of them and do immoral acts.

Just watched it too. Sounds like not riding single file is going to help the driver. However, him leaving the scene is unforgivable.

This is how I feel about SUVs. Why do you need a giant truck? Don't tell me it's for work.

It's not for joyriding. It's good for my bike rack though when I drive it to a place that bikes are designed to be though.

Not all assholes are cyclists, but all cyclists are assholes.
