A Murfreesboro man faces multiple charges including vehicular homicide in the fatal head-on collision crash on Lascassas Pike back in May where an 11-year-old died.

Eduardo Tejeda, 42, was arrested Monday afternoon at a home on Mason Court. Tejeda is charged with vehicular homicide, three counts of vehicular assault, felony reckless endangerment, driving under the influence (DUI), driving without a license, and an open container.

An 11-year-old male died, and two adults and a 9-year-old male were injured. A passenger in the car with Tejeda was also injured.
