The Napa woman whose legs were crushed when she was hit by a drunk driver Sunday night has a long, tough road to recovery.

Doctors at Queen of the Valley Medical Center operated on Lilian Clark the night of the crash, amputating both of her legs just above the knee, according to her husband, John Clark.
Clark, 38, is the mother of two boys, 4 and 6. She was pinned between the rear bumper of her car and a 1990 Plymouth driven by Francisco Pacheco, 24, of Napa.

The crash happened around 6:30 p.m. Sunday on South Terrace Drive, north of Shetler Avenue.

After the crash, Pacheco put his car in reverse and sped away from the scene. Neighbors followed him to his house about a block away, where they held him until police arrived and arrested Pacheco on felony DUI, hit and run and driving without a valid license. Pacheco has a prior misdemeanor DUI conviction from January 2007. He is on probation.

He is being held in the county jail on $100,000 bail.

Pacheco does not have auto insurance.

“I have no idea at this time what will be involved in Lili’s recovery. I know there will be months, maybe years of rehab, and she will have to be fitted for prosthesis,â€

Terrible, tragic, infuriating, maddening. Another American citizen suffers due to illegal aliens. I suppose La Raza is going to help the family with medical bills and living expenses due to the situation that one of their 'clients' had put upon this American family?

I posted this last night, I would appreciate it if people would do something besides just reading. The paper did not post he is an illegal, maybe because they did not know it at the time. This man was deported once before. John is a retired police officer which is how he found out the guy is an illegal alien. This is an outrage, not just because they are minutemen, but the fact Napa is a sanctuary city, and what would have been the outcome if John hadn't found out. He was instramental in having his bail revoked.

Some time ago I took up the task of emailing these stories to our president, vice president, senators and others.

Visit http://immigrationshumancost.org/ for hundreds of these stories, including one of my relatives killed by a drunk illegal alien.

I would recommend everyone email these stories daily to our congressmen and representatives until they get the message!

Thank-you so much, I think people need to do more than just read. But this paper also needs to be contacted especially now that the truth is known. Don't wait till it happens this close to you folks.
