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.
Hernandez is not currently in custody. He’s scheduled to appear in court later this month.
