FLY, TN — A bicyclist was hit by a vehicle on the Natchez Trace Parkway Sunday afternoon and taken by helicopter to Vanderbilt University Medical Center, according to Maury County Fire officials.

In July, another cyclist was hit by a car near the parkway's terminus. The incident was captured by a GoPro camera and went viral. The former dean of students at the prestigious University School of Nashville was arrested and charged in that incident.
