Honduran Diplomat Dies in Highway Wreck
Friday, February 09, 2007


GREENSBURG, Pa. —

A Honduran diplomat was killed on the Pennsylvania Turnpike when the car she was riding in was rear-ended by a tractor-trailer driven by an illegal immigrant, state police said.

Nuria Ortiz Navarro, 31, a trade and investment promotion counselor for the Honduran Embassy in Washington was pronounced dead at the scene of the collision Thursday.

Her husband, Pablo Octavio Miranda Nigro, 33, the car's driver and another passenger were injured in the wreck about 20 miles southeast of Pittsburgh, police said. None was considered to have life-threatening injuries.

The driver of the rig, Sam P. Thompson, 32, who lives in Gaithersburg, Md., was in the country illegally from Ghana, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials told police, Trooper Richard Mahokey said.

Thompson denied causing the crash when he appeared before a judge Thursday. He remained jailed Friday on charges of homicide by vehicle and several traffic citations.

Thompson's employer, Transcare Systems Inc., of Bowie, Md., declined to comment on the charges. Office manager Lara Popoola said Friday that the company believed Thompson was in the country legally. "So far, he had the proper paperwork and everything," she said.

David Hernandez, a spokesman for the Honduran embassy, said Navarro's remains would be flown to the Honduran capital of Tegucigalpa.

Navarro previously was a television reporter and was the daughter of a prominent journalist in Honduras, Hernandez said. "It's a very sad loss for us," he said.

who wants to bet that the US will have a lawsuit. Deport all illegals.

It's very sad that somebody who had skills and talents that seem to have been put to use to help her country develop (so they send fewer illegal immigrants here) was killed by an illegal immigrant.

Wonder if there are other illegals working there?

Where did the driver get his CDL ?

Time to put the heat on the employers

What the hell was a tractor-trailor doing being driven by an ILLEGAL?
On the insane Pa Turnpike, no less!

Huh? Bad enough they're in cars & SUV's but Semis? This just gets worse with every day.

As long as it wasn't yet another AMERICAN murdered, who give a flying fig. My empathy for anyone other than Americans has long since gone by way of the wind. And it's the ILLEGALS and Government LAW BREAKERS that sent that very wind my way.

What's the irony of that? A Honduran Diplomat killed by an Illegal Alien!
