Police: Three-year Lebanon officer killed in off-duty motorcycle crash on Aviation Way

A Lebanon police officer was killed Tuesday in an off-duty, single vehicle crash, according to the Tennessee Highway Patrol's preliminary report.

Brendan Myers, a three-year department veteran, died on Aviation Way in Lebanon, according to the Lebanon Police Department.

The Tennessee Highway Patrol was asked to investigate the cause of the crash, which occurred around 2:14 p.m.

Myers, 34, was driving a 2024 Suzuki Hayabusa west on Aviation Way when he apparently lost control of the motorcycle, ran off the side of the road and crashed into a metal fence, the preliminary report said.

Myers was wearing a helmet at the time.

"Officer Myers was incredibly passionate about serving this city and its citizens, and his love for this community was evident through his daily actions as a police officer," a Lebanon Police Department post on social media said.
