I hope damage to the SUV was minimal.

Actually the driver of the SUV was an innocent person who now has to be emotionally upset with memories of hitting the illegal.

It must have been shocking and the driver would have to try to unsee it.

Hopefully a quick determination by the authorities it was not the driver's fault in any way and then an insurance payoff.

Why did he run?
He must have had a long record in Guatemala.
Azzholes run all the time.
They know they’re breaking our laws.
Getting hit by a car is no one’s fault but his!

If this happened to an illegal in mexico they would have just buried the person in the desert somewhere.

As a pickup truck driver, I settle for a fill up of #2 diesel, a 16oz X 24 pack, and an Old Trapper bag of Black Peppered Beef jerky. Oh yeah, a wash job on my truck. County can haul off the road kill.

Yeah - and I hope that the driver / passengers of that SUV weren't hurt!

Though maybe they, too, were illegals.

This illegal alien dying is also a result of California policy. How about enforce our immigration laws and help the federal government to clear these people out?

A far better outcome and much cheaper.

That poor driver having to live through and with that.

I’m sure he did not have any choice. When someone runs out onto a busy highway, you neither have time to react nor an opportunity to changes lanes without causing an accident, which would not have ended well for the illegal either. But could have caused more loss of life.

Prayers up for this poor driver.

“Make no mistake, his death is a direct result of the Trump administration’s strategy of sowing fear and intimidation throughout our community,” Chu said. “It’s designed to instill fear, so that people will risk anything, even their lives, to escape it.”

…and your point Chu be doo? Any form of deportation is a good form of deportation!!

Chu thinks Montoya's death is a direct result of the Trump administration’s strategy of sowing fear and intimidation throughout our community.

I think Montoya's death is a direct result of him running onto the the 210.
