Good morning, this is Nashville Local Pulse for Sunday, November 30th, 2025.

We're starting this morning with an important safety alert from yesterday's incident in Mt. Juliet. A head-on crash involving a stolen vehicle near Central Pike and John Wright Road sent ten people to Vanderbilt University Medical Center on a mass casualty alert just before one-thirty on Saturday afternoon. The stolen vehicle was spotted traveling at high speed near Springdale Elementary School, and when officers attempted a traffic stop, the driver took off. The vehicle eventually crashed and caught fire. Two occupants of the stolen vehicle suffered life-threatening injuries, while eight people in the other vehicle sustained non-life threatening injuries. Mt. Juliet Police Chief Chandler expressed gratitude for the quick response from first responders and bystanders who helped at the scene. The Tennessee Highway Patrol is leading the investigation into what happened.

On the sports front, Nashville hockey fans had a tough night to watch. The Predators took a five-to-two loss against the Winnipeg Jets at Bridgestone Arena on Saturday night. Nick Blankenburg and Luke Evangelista scored for Nashville, but the Jets came out strong early, scoring in the first and last minutes of the opening period. Despite a resilient effort in the third period, the Preds just couldn't close the gap. Head Coach Andrew Brunette noted that giving up goals at both the start and finish of the first period made it incredibly difficult. The team earned four points in their last three games in four nights though, and they're looking to build on some recent momentum as they shift focus into December. They'll host the Calgary Flames on Tuesday night.

Across town, the Nashville sports landscape includes some exciting activity from our MLS community. The Vancouver Whitecaps will face Inter Miami in the MLS Cup on December 6th down in Fort Lauderdale. This is a historic matchup with both teams making their first-ever MLS Cup appearance, guaranteeing a first-time champion for the league's thirtieth season.

In women's college sports, congratulations to the University of Wisconsin women's hockey team, who secured a five-to-one victory over Mercyhurst yesterday in the SMASHVILLE Women's Collegiate Hockey Showcase right here in Nashville. The top-ranked Badgers continue their impressive run through the tournament.

Looking ahead to your Sunday, we expect typical November weather conditions as we wrap up the month. Bundle up if you're heading out, and stay safe on the roads.
