The woman's husband, Morris L. Long Jr., 23, was rushed to Vanderbilt Medical Center on Saturday after he stepped into oncoming traffic on Interstate 40 near McCrory Lane in Bellevue, according to Helm.

According to Metro police, Morris Long was hit by a large truck and taken to Vanderbilt University Medical Center. His injuries are not believed to be life-threatening, but he is in critical condition.
