HOUSTON - A suspect who allegedly attempted to flee the scene of a deadly car accident is an illegal immigrant, officials said.

Greg Palmore with the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement said the agency has filed a request to detain 26-year-old Rolando Hernandez Comacho.

Comacho is charged with intoxicated manslaughter in connection to the vehicle crash that killed a 24-year-old woman passenger in northwest Houston Sunday night, according to the Houston Police Department statement. He allegedly tried to flee the scene on foot but was apprehended a short time later, according to the statement.

The woman was ejected out of her seat when the Ford Explorer Comacho was supposedly driving collided with the rear of a Ford Focus on the 1500 block of the West Loop North, according to the statement. The collision caused both vehicles to land outside the freeway.
