A Tennessee man is facing serious allegations after reportedly stealing a pickup truck and engaging in a police pursuit that tragically concluded with a fatal collision involving a sedan. The man, identified as Ray Eugene Padgett, 52, now faces charges including criminally negligent homicide and vehicular homicide by recklessness related to the death of 23-year-old Oluwalayomi Fadero, as per the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department’s announcement.

Padgett’s legal troubles don’t end there. He has also been charged with felony reckless endangerment, attempted criminal homicide, and driving on a revoked license. Authorities allege that Padgett, who was on parole at the time, took a Ford F-250 pickup truck from a Nashville car dealership on a Friday morning. The dealership’s owner managed to track Padgett down to an alley on St. Louis Street.

Upon confronting Padgett, the suspect allegedly reversed the stolen truck and struck the vehicle the owner was using to block him, before making a getaway. Police have indicated that additional charges are likely related to this confrontation.

As Padgett continued his escape, law enforcement was already on his trail. A plainclothes detective in an unmarked police SUV was present at a connecting road between Murfreesboro Pike and Old Murfreesboro Pike when Padgett is said to have collided with the detective’s vehicle, an incident that led to the attempted criminal homicide charge.

The detective fortunately escaped unharmed, according to a report by NBC affiliate WSMV. In their effort to track the stolen vehicle, police deployed a helicopter to aid in locating the truck.

The officer in the unmarked SUV was OK, area NBC affiliate WSMV reported. Police also sent a helicopter to track the stolen pickup truck.

A police pursuit continued on Murfreesboro Pike, with speeds reportedly reaching up to 80 mph. About five minutes after the incident with the unmarked vehicle, Fadero was also on the Nashville road.

She tried to turn off Murfreesboro Pike onto Hickory Woods Drive when Padgett — driving on the wrong side of the road — “violently struck” the driver”s side of her Hyundai Elantra sedan, authorities say. The collision is said to have sent both vehicles careening about 100 yards into a ditch.

Aerial footage from local CBS affiliate WTVF showed extensive damage to the sedan in the aftermath of the crash, with the pickup truck appearing to be lodged into the driver’s side of the vehicle.

Fadero died. Padgett was taken to an area hospital with “minor injuries.” After being taken to and discharged from a hospital, he was arrested on Saturday.

Padgett had “at least 20 criminal convictions in five Tennessee counties” before the crash, the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department said. He was jailed on $805,000 bond.

A GoFundMe for Fadero says she was turning onto the road where she lived when she was killed.

“She was simply on her way home, and her dog Nala was with her in the car,” the fundraiser states, adding that “[m]iraculously, Nala survived the crash and was reunited with Oluwalayomi’s loved ones.”

“[T]he loss of Oluwalayomi has left a deep void in the hearts of everyone who knew her,” it goes on, saying Fadero was set to complete a nursing degree at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga in August. “Oluwalayomi was known for her kindness, her bright spirit, and the love she shared with her family, friends, and her dog Nala.”
