Driver Involved In Highway 99 Crash Arrested
PORTLAND, Ore. - The man police believe was responsible for a deadly crash on Highway 99 over the weekend was arrested Tuesday upon leaving the hospital.
Abdelfattah Marzouk, 46, is charged with Manslaughter I and Assault III, with additional charges of Reckless Endangering expected as well.
The charges stem from a fiery crash Sunday afternoon that took the life of a McMinnville woman and left three others injured, including Marzouk.
The crash happened on Highway 99 near the Highway 217 onramp.
Witnesses reported seeing Marzouk speeding into the area and slamming into a car, which then careened into another vehicle and burst into flames. (snip)

I hope our ABCs are noting the nationality and citizenship of drivers involved in fatal and devastating "accidents," including the ones with critical structural damage to our nations highways. Many many many many years ago I was taught in drivers training that vehicles are "weapons." Little did I know how true that statement would come to be so many years later.
Regarding this incident, for what it's worth, they had it on the Portland,OR evening news. They showed a few people standing around the scene of the accident. A couple of them were women who were wearing islamic dress and the head-wrap scarf thingy. That implied, to me, that the perp is islamic.
