Witnesses: SUV Driver Fondling Woman Before Crash
BLUFF Federal authorities filed a criminal charge Tuesday against the driver of a sport utility vehicle that crashed in southeastern Utah, killing eight illegal immigrants packed inside.
Rigoberto Salas-Lopez, 30, was charged with one count of transporting illegal immigrants resulting in death. Eight of the 14 people in the Chevy Suburban died after it rolled several times on U.S. 191 a few hours before dawn Monday.
Authorities determined that the driver and passengers were from Guatemala and Mexico. Salas-Lopez was arrested after fleeing into the desert after the crash in the Four Corners area of Utah, New Mexico, Arizona and Colorado.
He said he was given the vehicle by a man in Phoenix who offered him $1,000 to drive the people to St. Louis from Phoenix, according to an affidavit by Timothy Chard, an agent with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
“Salas also stated that he knew the individuals in the vehicle were from Mexico and Guatemala and that they were in the United States illegally,” Chard wrote.
....
Some survivors told agents that Salas-Lopez was fondling a woman before the crash – accounts that contradict his claim that he was trying to avoid hitting an animal.
“According to interviews by ICE that potentially was not the case,” said Lt. Todd Peterson of the Utah Highway Patrol. “The driver was involved in fondling or groping a female in the vehicle and that was the potential reason for the distracted driving.”

On Oct. 11, 2005, a van loaded with 16 people, all but one in the U.S. illegally, rolled on U.S. 191 near Moab in Grand County, killing two. The driver was sentenced to two years in federal prison.

That woman was part of the deal. Those smugglers exploit women all the time because they are likely to get away with it.

The men get away with it because often women allow them to. Living in Miami I see how some of them act and it doesn't matter if they are legal or not. As far as I am concerned if they show men their crotch then they are giving them an open invitation.

People run from accidents often if they can't drive the car away. They do so for the following reasons a) the car is stolen, b) they are drunk or high, c) they don't have a valid driver's license, d) they are illegal or e) both c) and d). In South Florida it is often e).
