Hernandez was driving a black Dodge Ram at a high rate of speed northbound on S. Smithville Road shortly after midnight on Sept. 26 when he reportedly ran a red light and hit a white Toyota Camry at Third Street, according to a Dayton Police crash report.
The two vehicles collided and went into the parking lot of the Domino’s 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 was transported from the scene to a local hospital with serious, but non-life-threatening injuries.
A 25-year-old woman suffered minor injuries in the crash.
He is expected to appear in court on April 16.
