Summary

  • Felipe Alvarado Hernandez, 47, now faces an ICE detainer after police accused him of driving a pickup onto a downtown Nashville sidewalk and injuring four people on June 13.
  • Four pedestrians were struck as Hernandez allegedly tried to turn left; two needed wheelchairs, and one victim was still hospitalized in Vanderbilt University Medical Center's burn unit as of July 29.
  • July 28 marked Hernandez's arrest, more than a month after the crash, on charges including leaving the scene, failing to render aid, failing to file an accident report, a financial responsibility violation and driving with a revoked license.
  • DHS said Hernandez entered the U.S. at an unknown date and place, had agreed to leave on Jan. 5, 2004 after a Michigan retail-fraud arrest, and was later identified in the Nashville case through license-plate reader data.
