Honduran Illegal Facing Deportation Charged in Crash That Killed College Girl in Virginia

A Honduran illegal alien who arrived to the U.S. as an ‘unaccompanied minor’ and was ordered deported has been charged in connection with a car crash that killed an American teen in Virginia, according to reports.

The deadly wreck unfolded in Chesapeake on February 19, but the suspect’s immigration background just came to light this week in a report published by The Virginian-Pilot.

Authorities say Elvis Jamir Cruz-Ferrera, 18, was traveling southbound on Interstate 664 when his vehicle struck that of Lauryn Ni’Kole Leonard, 19, who was driving in the same direction.

Both drivers lost control and Leonard was killed when her Toyota Solara slammed into a guardrail.

Cruz-Ferrera was injured but later released from hospital.
