Former NHL player Nic Kerdiles and former fiancé of Savannah Chrisley died in a motorcycle accident.

In Nashville on Saturday morning, Nick Kerdiles, a former hockey player and ex-fiancé of reality TV star Savannah Chrisley, died in a motorcycle accident. Police reported that 29-year-old Kerdiles collided with an SUV at the intersection of 14th Avenue North and Willess Street. Preliminary investigations indicated that he ran through a stop sign and struck the left side of a BMW. The SUV driver immediately stopped, and neither driver showed signs of intoxication. Police stated that no charges would be filed.

Kerdails was taken to the Vanderbilt University Medical Center but died from his injuries.

Kerdiles was selected by the Anaheim Ducks in the second round of the 2012 NHL Draft. He played only three games for the Ducks during the 2016-2017 and 2017-2018 seasons.

The "Ducks" team expressed their condolences in a post on X, formerly known as Twitter. "We are heartbroken by the news of Nick Kerdiles' passing, who died in a car accident this morning. Nick, originally from Irvine, became the first player from Orange County to join the Ducks in 2017," the team's statement said. "Our thoughts and deepest sympathies are with his family and loved ones."

Kerdails has also appeared several times on the USA Network reality shows "Chrisley Knows Best" and "Growing Up Chrisley," which followed Todd and Julie Chrisley, millionaires from Atlanta, and their children.

In 2019, Kerdiles proposed to Savannah Chrisley in front of her family. However, a little over a year later, they broke up but remained close. In one of the episodes in 2022, they decided to try to rekindle their relationship, and he admitted that the end of his hockey career had been a problem in their relationship.

Krisli posted a photo on her Instagram story on Saturday, showing them holding hands on the beach.

In 2021, a total of 5,932 people died in motorcycle accidents, which is an 8% increase compared to the previous year, marking the highest number of fatalities since data collection began in 1975, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Motorcycles account for about 3% of all registered vehicles and 0.6% of vehicle miles traveled in the U.S., yet motorcyclists are involved in 14% of all road fatalities, according to the National Safety Council.
