Man dies after being critically injured in crash involving food truck

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — A man has died after suffering critical injuries from a collision with a food truck, according to the Metro Nashville Police Department (MNPD).

Cruz-Vargas reportedly “became pinned between the truck and the building” due to inexperience on the part of he driver, 42-year-old Omar Martinez-Gonzalez.

Martinez-Gonzalez was ultimately charged for not having a valid driver’s license or proof of insurance, the MNPD added.
