A Georgia teacher is dead after an illegal alien ran a red light while fleeing Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents and crashed his car into her vehicle.
The fatal crash occured in Savannah, Georgia. The Chatham County Police Department has charged Oscar Vasquez Lopez, an illegal alien from Guatemala, with first-degree homicide by vehicle, reckless driving, failure to obey a traffic control device, and driving without a valid license, according to WTOC 11.
ICE agents first saw Vasquez Lopez enter a vehicle and attempted to perform a traffic stop, according to the Department of Homeland Security.
Vasquez Lopez initially appeared to comply, but video posted by local news WTOC 11 appears to show him speeding away in his vehicle with authorities in pursuit. He attempted to make a U-turn and ran a red light, crashing into Linda Davis, a Savannah teacher.
