NASHVILLE, Tennessee -- The first officer to arrive at the scene of Saturday’s fatal car wreck that killed TSU senior Joycelyn Gardiner testified on Thursday that the driver of the large SUV that collided with Gardiner’s sedan was belligerent, combative and smelling of alcohol, and that he tried multiple times to flee the scene.
The driver of that Ford Expedition, Victor Benitez, 24, has been charged with vehicular homicide. Following his arrest, he was identified as an illegal immigrant from Mexico and is being held in the Metro jail indefinitely at the request of federal immigration authorities.
