NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — A 32-year-old woman will face a vehicular homicide by intoxication charge after a crash early Tuesday morning killed a Nashville man, according to Metro police.
The two-vehicle crash happened around 2:50 a.m. at Harding Place and Linbar Drive.
Police said Lizbeth Delgado Cruz, of La Vergne, was driving a 2004 GMC Yukon west on Harding Place when she ran a red light and struck the driver’s side of a 2019 Nissan Altima driven by 30-year-old Martin Villagomez Jr.
Both drivers were taken to Vanderbilt University Medical Center, where Villagomez died.
Police said a nurse at the hospital told officers they detected an odor of alcohol on Delgado Cruz. She suffered non-life-threatening injuries.
Delgado Cruz will be charged with vehicular homicide by intoxication after she is released from the hospital.
North Nashville lost a passionate advocate and historian with the passing of Lorenzo Washington. I had the pleasure to get to know him while working on a story and left with a wealth of information and appreciation for how Jefferson Street shaped the sound of Music City. Aaron Cantrell shows us how Lorenzo will forever be part of that.
