    NASHVILLE, Tennessee (WSMV) — Metro Police plan to charge the father, who was driving the vehicle that crashed in Antioch on Wednesday morning, killing his 4-year-old son.

According to police, Alexander Nwaibe, 61, will be charged with vehicular homicide, two counts of aggravated child endangerment, and two counts of aggravated child neglect upon his hospital discharge.

Police say that Nwaibe’s 4-year-old son was killed in the crash while his 3-year-old daughter was injured.
