When was Conner Smith involved in fatal car accident? Details explored as victim's family drops charges that killed 77yo woman

The charges against the country music singer, Conner Smith, after the fatal accident that killed Dorothy Dobbins have been dropped, as confirmed by TMZ.

On June 8, 2025, Conner was involved in a fatal car accident when driving his Chevrolet Silverado, which killed Dorothy. She was seventy-seven at the time of her death. The incident took place in Nashville when she was walking across the pedestrian crossing.

After the incident, the singer opened up on his social media, where he wrote:

"Four weeks ago, I was involved in a tragic vehicle accident that resulted in the loss of a life. Not a day has gone by that I haven’t grieved, prayed, and mourned for Ms. [Dorothy] Dobbins and her family. I ask that you continue to lift the Dobbins family up in prayer by name, asking for God's peace to surround them each day"

The post is no longer available on his Instagram account. Additionally, his attorney said that Smith has been fully cooperating with authorities during the investigation. Two days after the incident, Smith faced a misdemeanor citation for a traffic offense linked to the crash. As per the recent reports, the charges have been dropped.

Legal charges against Conner Smith dropped

As of now, Conner Smith is no longer facing legal action after the victim's family dropped the charges. The news was confirmed by his attorney to People Magazine in a statement that read:

"This devastating accident was a profound tragedy for the family of Dot Dobbins and the larger Germantown community. Over the past several months, Conner has been grateful for the opportunity to get to know Dot’s family personally and be able to voice his deep and sincere grief. While he is grateful that this legal chapter has concluded, he will continue to steadfastly lift her family up in prayer."

Dorothy worked as a lawyer in Nashville for more than four decades. She was the daughter of C. Ray Dobbins and Mary Alice Smith Dobbins and had six siblings, as per the obituary. Dorothy was all about supporting women, helping start Nashville's first domestic violence shelter, and leading the YWCA.

Talking about her nature, a statement in the obituary reads:

"It is impossible to count all the ways that Dot was a pillar to her family over the years. This was not limited to her daughter, son-in-law, and four grandchildren. It included her parents who moved to Nashville in 1990, for they knew they could rely on her in their old age. Dot also, without thinking twice, would come to the aid of siblings who needed support at crucial moments in their lives."

In a recent episode of The Upload with Brooke Taylor, Conner Smith spoke about the grief and trauma he was facing in his house after the incident, comparing it to a tornado.
