(CNN) - A Tennessee police officer was killed Thursday when his car was "violently struck" on the driver's side by a teen driver who was driving without a license, the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department said. Central Precinct Officer John Anderson, 28, had been with the department for four years and had become a father a little over a year ago. When he reached an intersection, Anderson's police car was hit by the teen's 2016 Ford Fusion, and the officer died at the scene. That officer radioed in the car's location and license plate and noticed the car turn onto the street where the crash occurred. I am definitely not feeling lost as I begin this journey of serving the public by becoming a Metro Nashville police officer," he had written, according to police.

The teen was charged with vehicular homicide by recklessness, felony evading arrest, aggravated assault by recklessness, driving on a suspended license and juvenile curfew violation.
