INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — An immigrant who was living illegally in Indiana when he was arrested in a suspected drunken-driving crash that killed Indianapolis Colts linebacker Edwin Jackson and another man faces a court hearing.
Marion County prosecutors planned to announce Wednesday before 37-year-old Manuel Orrego-Savala’s initial hearing whether he’ll face criminal charges in Sunday’s crash along Interstate 70 in Indianapolis.
Authorities say Orrego-Savala, a citizen of Guatemala, was deported in 2007 and 2009. They say he was again living illegally in the U.S.
Police say the 26-year-old Jackson and 54-year-old Uber driver Jeffrey Monroe were standing outside Monroe’s car along I-70 after Jackson became ill while Monroe was transporting him. They say Jackson and Monroe were struck and killed by a pickup truck driven by Orrego-Savala.
Investigators say they believe Orrego-Savala was intoxicated.

According to the Illegal Immigration Advocates this kind of thing NEVER happen. All lies! false information!
Yea right. Tell that to the families of the two run down by the drunk, twice deported Guatemalan illegal.
Ask families right here in South Bend who have lost family to illegals with no insurance no license, don’t speak English how they feel. They murder and kill people with cars just like the Colts player. This is why we NEED controlled, organized immigration LAWS that are enforced! Maybe if some of these politicians who think we should have no holds barred immigration would have family murdered by illegals they’d change their tune.
