Ex-NHL player Nicolas Kerdiles was killed in a motorbike accident on Saturday in Nashville, according to local authorities. He was 29.
According to the Metro Nashville Police Department, the former Anaheim Ducks ran a stop sign early Saturday morning and crashed with the driver’s side of an SUV. The SUV driver removed over quickly, and neither driver displayed any symptoms of impairment, according to the authorities.
It was at Vanderbilt University Medical Center when Kerdiles passed away. In this mishap, police do not hope any charges to be filed. Kerdiles was chosen by the Ducks in 2012 and played with them for two seasons, totaling three games in 2016-17 and 2017-18.
In 2018, he was sent to the Winnipeg Jets from the Manitoba Moose of the American Hockey League. Recently, he has been employed in the Nashville real estate industry.
