Hernandez was driving a black Dodge Ram at a high rate of speed northbound on S. Smithville Road shortly after midnight on Sept. 26, 2025, when he reportedly ran a red light and hit a white Toyota Camry at Third Street, as News Center 7 previously reported.
The two vehicles collided and went into the Domino’s parking lot at the corner of the intersection. In the parking lot, the vehicles collided with a parked car, pushing that car into the building.
The parked car ended up in the walk-in cooler/freezer of the Domino’s, police previously confirmed to News Center 7.
The driver of the Camry, 43-year-old James Moody, died from injuries at the scene.
Hernandez is scheduled to be sentenced on Sept. 23.
