An illegal alien semi-truck driver ran a red light and killed an innocent man in Hendricks County, Indiana, on Wednesday.

The identity of the illegal alien has not been released.

The accident happened around noon in Avon, according to Fox 59.

The driver of the semi-truck ran a red light and crashed into a Chevrolet pickup truck. The Chevrolet truck then collided with a Chrysler Sebring.

The driver of the Chevrolet, 64-year-old Terry Schulz, died at the scene.

In a heartbreaking development, a witness to the accident who was almost struck by the semi-truck said she got out of her vehicle and prayed over Mr. Schultz as he took his last breath.

The woman said she would love to meet Mr. Schultz’s family to let them know he wasn’t alone when he passed away.

The semi-truck driver was taken into custody by ICE.

“ISP was on the scene and have detained him for ICE. You will need to reach out to ISP PIO for further information regarding their investigation,” Fox 59 said of the semi-truck driver.

Fox 59 reported:

One person is dead after a crash in Hendricks County on Wednesday, according to the Hendricks County Sheriff’s Office.

Deputies were dispatched around 12 p.m. on Wednesday to U.S. 36, at the road’s intersection with County Road 525 East, on a report of a crash.

The preliminary investigation found that three vehicles were reportedly involved. One person was pronounced dead at the scene.

According to a news release from the Hendricks County Sheriff’s Office, a Freightliner semi-truck with a trailer was reportedly travelling eastbound on U.S. 36 when it allegedly ran the red light at the intersection. The truck reportedly struck a Chevrolet truck travelling northbound.

The release said the impact caused the Chevrolet to strike a Chrysler that was in the left turn lane traveling westbound on U.S. 36.

The occupant of the Chevrolet, identified as 64-year-old Terry Schultz, was pronounced dead at the scene. No other individuals were transported to an area hospital.

I drove a few miles in an icy snowstorm yesterday, watching two semi trucks do everything wrong in city traffic and bad roads. I wondered whether the drivers were born here.

True. Currently the life expectancy for a 64 year old man in the United States is age 21 more years to age 85. The man killed had 25% of his life denied to him.

It is astounding that I personally know four Americans who have been killed by illegal alien drivers as a consequence of the aliens’ reckless driving.

Meanwhile, from next door...

USDOT says Illinois must revoke illegally-issued CDLs or lose $128 million

20% of those non-dom CDLs were issued illegally.

This hit too close to home. I travel that route frequently, and this could easily have been me. I know exactly where this is. This is just awful. It also means this truck driver was driving in my little town which just west of Avon. This is a terrible reminder that you can be in an accident anywhere, even near your home. (This accident is 6 miles from my house, around a 10+ minute drive.)

I’m so glad that other woman was with him.

I am always looking for the other vehicle that’s going to blow through the red light or stop sign

In all my years of riding motocycles one lesson from my dad stood out - and I am passing it on to my grandkids as they reach driving age:

When you're driving, pay attention to all other drivers as if they are all out to kill you.

64 is not elderly. That being said, hang the driver and his employer.

Cristina Laila should know better. The guy probably had gray hair. That might make him seem “elderly” but I know people who turned gray in their 40’s. 64 is not “elderly”.

RIP, Mr. Schultz.
