Mother faces charges in crash that killed child (no license)

WORCESTER — The mother of a 3-year-old boy faces motor vehicle homicide charges today after a Monday night car accident on Franklin Street.

Jayden Figueroa, 3, was pronounced dead at a local hospital following the 10:14 p.m. accident at 432 Franklin St.

Jayden and a 7-year-old were trapped inside the 1992 Toyota Camry which was traveling at more than 70 mph before it crossed into the eastbound travel lane and crashed into a parked Honda Odyssey, according to police.

Jayden's mother, Christina Castro, 27, of 2 Wall Street Court, was outside the vehicle with another son, a 5-year-old, when emergency personnel arrived. They worked to extricate the 3-year-old and the 7-year-old. All three children were taken to area hospitals, police said. None of the children were wearing seat belts, police said.

After the initial impact with the Odyssey, Ms. Castro's Toyota struck a Chrysler Town and Country, which sent the Chrysler into a parked tow truck.

Ms. Castro was arrested and will be arraigned today on charges of motor vehicle homicide by negligent operations, speeding, leaving the scene of a property damage accident, unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle, two counts of child restraint violation, three counts of reckless endangerment of a child and operating a motor vehicle so as to endanger.

Last night, firefighters worked feverishly to rip away parts of the car.

At one point, someone in the crowd of police, firefighters and paramedics started yelling and signaling the number four, and personnel jumped up into the snowy hill behind the accident, frantically waving flashlights and looking behind trees and under vehicles.

Crews hoisted a young boy onto a waiting stretcher, as another person was rushed into an ambulance. Another person was whisked to a third ambulance on a stretcher.

That's b/c they use several identities

Heck, they have two legal identities before they start schmoozing the law.

Ricardo Gonzales y Suarez.
So he is Ricardo Gonzales or Ricardo Suarez, legally.

If illegals were given drivers licenses (and registered to vote at the same time) these kind of accidents would not happen. Don’t you see the logic? /s

242 Franklin St. is the location of Etre’s Auto Body. Google map it and you can see the tow truck she probably hit.

Right---and here's another way they get fraudulent id's

NJ BERGEN RECORD CIRCA 2004---Pelcastre brothers, Angel and Jorge, Dallas, Texas, were a walking threat to US national security, expert document forgers who, for a few thousand dollars, could give anyone a new identity (many latinos establish multiple identities in order to ride the US gravy train).

The Texas brothers were a "one-stop shop" for a myriad of fake US documents, including birth certificates, Social Security cards, driver's licenses----for any state in the US------ passports and resident alien cards, said NJ state police.

The Texas brothers turned a NJ hotel room into a business office and were readying a massive cache of fake Social Security cards for delivery to a local NJ identity broker. Officers happened upon two cars bearing Texas plates in a NJ hotel parking lot.

The Texas brothers were followed to a NJ office supply store nearby where they purchased computer supplies. Officers then followed the Texans to a NJ storage facility in Secaucus, NJ, where the Texans loaded several boxes into a car. One of them stood lookout. After a search, police recovered laminating sheets with built-in security features, pages of blank documents waiting for fake names and information, finished documents, computers and software to create the fake IDs.

All told, the haul was worth about $500,000 on the street when sold to "impoverished illegals." Police also recovered $6,000 in cash, which was the first payment from a NJ fake document broker for a shipment of 500 phony Social Security cards. ####

Don’t expect any actions to prevent this sort of nonsense from the beastly big Sis Janet. Homeland INSecurity is the better definition. Meanwhile little white grandmas in wheelchairs get the shakedown routine from TSA at airports. Maddening!

I remember several year ago, a TV report about a post office somewhere near the border that was used by illegals to send money home.
It was so busy the gov. put in several trailers to handle the business.

Mass tries to but so far no.

Years ago tho under Gov Dukakis fake social security numbers were issued so illegals could collect benefits. It’s possibly Onyanga Obama aka Uncle Omar got one that way.

US Sen Booby Menendez is in a pickle WRT his activities in the Dominican Republic.

FACTS SEN MENENDEZ DOES NOT WANT YOU TO KNOW ABOUT THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC: (from a DR travel brochure) the DR is a Caribbean nation notorious for corrupt governments and strong-arm dictators. Despite US politicans' fondness for the "amenities" at its posh resorts and celebrities relaxing at posh villas spending big bucks there, the DR has no safety net or state-sponsored job creation for its largely impoverished citizenry.

The one million Dominican citizens currently living illegally in the US send home about a billion US dollars annually---which is considered by the corrupt do-nothing DR govt to be a major source of state revenue. A steady exodus leaves for US shores (lured by the endless US gravy train).

===========================================

The DR govt and Sen menendez no doubt know that massive financial benefits would derive from amnesty......Third world pressure groups exchanging votes for foreign aid---zillions of us tax dollars going straight into the pockets of corrupt third world federales

THIRD WORLD COUNTRIES W/ PRESSURE GROUPS IN THE US (here illegally sending billions back home): Argentina, Belize, Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Cuba, Dominica Republic, Ecuador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Puerto Rico (stateside), Salvador, Spain, Uruguay, Venezuela.

Menendez, his Dominican crony, Dr Meglen, and Dominican Republic govt honchos, have a secret deal that will profit them hundreds of millions of dollars. Menendez crassly used US govt resources, govt authority, and his privileged position, to convene a special hearing on the port deal---Menendez was the only Senator present but the hearing had the full force of the US govt. Self-serving Menendez dragged US officials up to the Hill for questioning---pressuring US officials about why the Dominican port deal had not gone through.

The NY Times quotes Menendez at the hearing: "You have another company that has 'American investors' that is seeking to - has a contract actually given to it by the - kind of ratified by the Dominican Congress----to do X-ray of all of the cargo that goes through the ports, which have been problematic and for which in the past narcotics have been included in those cargo," the senator said.

Menendez reinforced his authority by later calling US officials at the Depts of State and Commerce.

The more cynical among us see the push for amnesty on Capitol Hill concealing a dark, corrupt hidden agenda. Underage males/females cannot legally consent to sex here---it is considered Statuatory Rape in civilized countries. But sex w/ minors is legal in the Third World. That would change w/ amnesty.

2 Wall Street Court, Worcester, MA....2 blocks from the accident...she was fleeing her earlier rear end and was being persued by the victim of early criminal activity. She ran from the scene hell bent on escaping responsibility, and MURDERED her 3 year old son, and probably her 7 year old. Mom will go to prison, and the 5 year old into the hell-hole of foster care......all for a fender bender.

“And a comment to that: The car she rear ended was following her. What an idiot, a poor judgement ended with killing her youngest son.”

How can you rear end a car behind you?

She may have rear ended a car and then panicked and fled; not stopping at scene of accident. Driver of other car, car maybe still driveable, then starts to chase her

from today’s Worc Telegram:

>>Sometime before the fatal crash, Ms. Castro had allegedly rear-ended a commercial vehicle that had just made a delivery. The driver of the commercial truck told police he pulled over to exchange paperwork, but saw Ms. Castro speed off onto Interstate 290.
The driver followed Ms. Castro to the next exit and tried to speak with her, but she allegedly continued to speed away and he was unable to follow her, Mr. Travers said. The driver reported the accident to police.
Police soon made a connection between the two accidents.
