This last night…
C-FBWH - Canadian registration.
First came through on the TV news channel apps as an automobile crash that resulted in the closure of the eastbound lanes of interstate 40.
This is along I-40; I pass this area daily on my commute from Dickson to BNA.
But then, we started hearing, through social media channels, that it was actually the crash of a small, single-engine aircraft.

I’m confused by the flight path. Flight Aware shows that he flew southbound right over John C. Tune Airport before hooking to his left (East). Possibly JWN wasn’t his destination? Or, maybe it was, and he simply missed it? This did happen after dark.
R/aviation:
Reading the Wiki entry for this aircraft type, it’s the predecessor to the Saratoga, which, incidentally, was the type that JFK Jr. and his passengers lost their lives in. Nothing to do with this crash or anything inherent about this type - just interesting.
