NASHVILLE, Tenn. - A Rutherford County woman is expected to face a vehicular homicide by intoxication charge following an early-morning crash in Nashville that left one man dead.

According to the preliminary investigation, 32-year-old Lizbeth Delgado Cruz of La Vergne was driving a 2004 GMC Yukon westbound on Harding Place around 2:50 a.m. Tuesday when she allegedly ran a red light at Linbar Drive. Police said the Yukon struck the driver’s side of a 2019 Nissan Altima driven by 30-year-old Martin Villagomez Jr. of Nashville as he traveled through the intersection.

Both drivers were transported to Vanderbilt University Medical Center, where Villagomez later died from his injuries. Delgado Cruz suffered non-life-threatening injuries.

At the hospital, a nurse reportedly told officers that an odor of alcohol was detected on Delgado Cruz. Authorities said she will be charged with vehicular homicide by intoxication after she is released from the hospital.

The investigation into the crash remains ongoing.
