Nashville, TN (September 13, 2024) – A four-vehicle crash on Dickerson Pike resulted in one fatality and several injuries on Thursday. Noa Diego Hug Villarce, 26, was driving a Nissan Rogue when he collided head-on with a Ford pickup truck after attempting a left turn. The impact caused Villarce’s Rogue to hit a Dodge Charger and the pickup to be rear-ended by a Lexus SUV.
Villarce was taken to TriStar Skyline Medical Center, where he later died. His 9-month-old daughter had injuries and was treated at Monroe Carell Jr. Children’s Hospital. The drivers of the pickup and Charger were hospitalized but are expected to recover, while the Lexus driver and her 11-year-old son suffered minor injuries. Authorities believe Villarce’s failure to yield caused the crash. The investigation is ongoing.
