The driver of an SUV that crashed on Interstate 485 Wednesday is facing several charges, including driving without a license and overcrowding a vehicle.

There were eight people inside the SUV when it flipped near Interstate 77 in north Mecklenburg County. Everyone survived the accident.

Eyewitness News anchor Blair Miller looked deeper into the accident and found lingering questions about where the people in the SUV were heading. He also uncovered concerns about illegal immigration in the area.

Troopers said none of the eight people in the SUV, which was on a 2,000-plus mile journey from Phoenix, could prove they were in the country legally.

Dan Ramirez, a leader in Charlotte's Latino community, said he thinks areas like Charlotte will see more Latinos as a result of a new law in Arizona that crack down on illegal immigrants.
