Borders ping?
UGH!!
Do you know the difference between the victims of the car wreck? The husband who is in critical condition will be required to pay his hospital bill.
How on earth does the nationality of the driver have ~anything~ to do with the story?
Or has it finally come to the point that any time a hispanic last name is mentioned within an article, it instantly becomes an immigration issue?
How do you even know the driver is Mexican, for that matter?
No mention of whose fault the accident was. I assume it is under investigation. Prayers for everyone involved.
I don't know that he was illegal. He was swearing at those surrounding him and at the police officer in English.

Pregnant woman, two others injured in hit-and-run
Melissa Pinion-Whitt
UPLAND - A suspected drunken driver was arrested Monday after he struck three vehicles, injuring three people including a woman who was about seven months pregnant, police said.
Police booked Richard Soto, 22, of Ontario, into West Valley Detention Center on suspicion of felony hit-and-run, felony driving while under the influence and possession of stolen property.
Police said Soto was driving a stolen 1997 Ford Aerostar south on Campus Avenue near 13th Street at 3:16 p.m. when he struck two vehicles and drove away.
At 11th Street and Second Avenue, Soto ran a stop sign and broadsided the driver of a Chevrolet Astro van. The impact caused the van to roll onto its roof. A pregnant Upland woman riding in the vehicle, along with her 2- and 5-year-old sons, received injuries in the crash.
Soto ran from the vehicle, but was chased by several witnesses to the 600 block of north First Avenue. The witnesses pointed out Soto to Upland officers who came to the scene.
Police said Soto is suspected of driving while under the influence of alcohol and stimulants. He also had drug-related arrest warrants.
The pregnant woman was flown to Arrowhead Regional Medical Center in Colton and the children were taken to Loma Linda University Medical Center. Their conditions were not known.
Sue the Govt. for not securing the border and causing harm.. take it all the to the SCOTUS..
"But this happening on Easter Sunday is such a tragedy," he said.
This comment shows how geared to the spectator is our society.
If he's legal (or a citizen -- we do have millions of citizens with Mexican last names), do as is normally done. If he's illegal, ship him off to a Mexican hospital as soon as he can be safely moved.
Latino immigrants are less likely to rely on the internet/talk radio for their information, and more inclined to get their information from Spanish radio/TV and newsprint!
So as newspapers are trending the way of the dinosaurs, it is in a papers best interest not to offend a demographic that blindly, relies on them for news.
"The Birmingham news is famous for not covering any news relating to illegals, or trying to put a spin on it. They are very pro illegals."
So, since the newspaper is so fond of illegals, and the subsequent disenfranchisement of LEGAL U.S. citizens, I vote to disband the newspaper...
"I don't understand why so many accidents have occurred at this particular location," Sartain said. "Traffic is moderately heavy, but the street is a straight, two-lane stretch."
Answer is obvious. Road signs were not printed in Spanish which should be required on all roads in the United States.
I think all prior accidents on this road should be reviewed and if latinos were involved in other accidents on this road a case for discrimination can be made and compensation be paid accordingly to hispanics involved. Legality has nothing to do with it but discrimination against hispanic speaking people is obviously involved.
I think taxes should be immediately increased to cover the cost of reprinting all road signage throughout the country in spanish
I'm as against illegal immigration as the next FReeper, but this story neither indicates there were illegals OR immigrants involved. Believe it or not, there are people like my family who were here at the time the Republic was born who have surnames like that.
My 18 year old son was killed in 1984 by an illegal alien and I can assure you all, the fact that this woman was killed on Easter Sunday will have no bearing on this tragedy. Whoever said that was just searching for something to say.
They stuck this in chat, eh?
Ping...
Expectant mom dies in collision [with Mexican immigrants]on Easter Sunday ping.

One more "illegal, uninvited gueat" doing what ordinary Americans refuse to do.
