The Houston Chronicle ^ | 06/30/14 | Dale Lezon

New details have been released after at least five people, including a young child, were killed late Sunday night when a wrong-way driver slammed head-on into their pickup in northeast Harris County.

The two-vehicle wreck happened about 11 p.m. on the westbound North Sam Houston Parkway near John Ralston, according to the Harris County Sheriff's Office.

Deputies said Efraim Carmona was driving a 2009 Dodge Ram 5500 pickup eastbound in the westbound lanes when he smashed into a 2000 Ford F-150.

Five people in the Ford died at the scene. The front passenger in the Ford was injured and was taken to Memorial Hermann Hospital in critical condition.

The names of the victims have not been released.

Wrong-way driver was drunk and is suspected to be an illegal immigrant. If you don't live in the Houston area or are unfamiliar with Beltway 8, getting onto the wrong lanes of this roadway is virtually impossible without a conscious effort.

They will treat his national status like an ultra top secret and never tell us.

Over 50,000 Americans have been killed by illegal aliens since 9/11.

Makes me sick. Flat bed hits PU, 11 o’clock at night, no one in PU wearing seat belts and no child’s car seat.
This has been happening more and more w/these illegals who are on drugs or drunk.

God help us; we need judges who will punish these criminals for their crimes, but I think we are too far gone.

The Bible says that when the Lord Jesus Christ returns to rule and reign on this earth, it will be a reign of justice and righteousness. Until then there it is going to keep on getting worse and worse. Today if you hear His voice, do not harden your hearts.

Driving on weekend evenings in areas with a lot of illegals is a risky proposition.

Senseless violence stories I automatically assume BLACK.
Horrific Drunk driving manslaughter stories I automatically assume ILLEGAL ALIEN.
I currently have a 94% success rate with my assumptions....

My good friend and neighbor lost his sister-in-law and young toddler nephew due to a drunk illegal alien. And, down the street from me, a high-school student was run down and killed on his bike by an illegal fleeing the quickie-mart he just robbed. A few blocks over, a woman and her daughter were killed by another drunk illegal.

Every time I see these amnesty-pushing Republicans and Chamber-of-Commerce types, the first thing I think of is all the dead, bloodied and mangled Americans that they have caused. I truly, truly wish that every single one of these open-border amnesty-pushers receive the very same grisly fate. I wish untold pain on each and every one of them.

The company spokeswoman said the office could not confirm details about the driver or the crash, including whether he was an employee.

Why not?

The company does not know if the driver of their truck was their employee?

The images clearly show the company truck's cab to be intact...Did the driver of the company truck have ID, or a wallet?

Could the cops not match the ID with the driver? Is there no pic or description of the driver on his own license?

Why does the company not know who the hell is driving their truck?

They’re trying to make it so there aren’t any areas that are NOT overrun with illegals.

Houston has had two separate crashes involving DWI drivers
that have killed nine people within the last week. Sad...

Also something on the news about the vehicle he struck was carrying illegals from Central America.

Not really. If you don’t read or write English “too good” and you’re drunk, I can envision the possibility of a minor mix up using the expressway.

Yes, but not telling us, IS telling us. It is like the knock out crimes. They usually don't tell us, but THAT tells us.

Was it on the toll road or the feeder road?

Wrong way collisions are commonplace in San Antonio. When I visit my parents in the Texas Hill Country I always hear about incident on the WOAI news.
Add to that police officers being clipped during traffic stops.
The common denominator is DUI, and many times illegals.

“They’re trying to make it so there aren’t any areas that are NOT overrun with illegals.”

Certainly the case here in the NYC metro area; without them we’d be closing schools/laying off public employees. That is why they are being shipped here; to prevent complete de-population. A friend described camping in northern CA, and coming upon a small marker stone indicating that a town of several thousands had been there during the gold rush. The marker was literally all that remained.

Many high-cost areas see the same fate without the illegals being imported to keep the government workers employed...
