A teacher in Savannah, Georgia, was tragically killed after an illegal alien fleeing ICE agents crashed into her vehicle.

WTOC reported on Monday morning that ICE agents attempted to pull over Oscar Vasquez Lopez, who was previously issued an order of removal from the United States in 2024.

After initially appearing to comply with officers, Lopez proceeded to evade officers and led the ICE agents in a car pursuit.

During the pursuit, Lopez conducted a dangerous U-turn and ran a red light, crashing into Hesse K-8 School teacher Dr. Linda Davis.

Davis was later pronounced dead at a local hospital, and Lopez has since been treated with non-life-threatening injuries.

Per The DHS:

On February 16, ICE law enforcement officers attempted to apprehend Oscar Vasquez Lopez, a criminal illegal alien from Guatemala who was issued a final order of removal by a federal judge in 2024. He entered the U.S. illegally at an unknown date and location.

During the operation, officers observed Vasquez Lopez enter a vehicle and they attempted a traffic stop. Vasquez Lopez initially complied, but then fled the scene, making a reckless U-turn and running a red light, colliding into a civilian vehicle. The civilian driver sustained fatal injuries and was pronounced deceased at the scene. Vasquez Lopez is in custody at the hospital with minor injuries and is being charged by the Chatham County Police Department with vehicular homicide.

“This vehicular homicide is an absolute tragedy and deadly consequence of politicians and the media constantly demonizing ICE officers and encouraging those here illegally to resist arrest—a felony,” said Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin.

“These dangerous tactics are putting people’s lives at risk. Fleeing from and resisting federal law enforcement is not only a crime but extraordinarily dangerous and puts oneself, our officers, and innocent civilians at risk. Now, an innocent bystander has lost their life.”

Alonna McMullen, the principal of Hesse K-8, in a statement to parents shared, “I wanted to make our families aware that our school has experienced the death of a teacher, who was killed in a traffic accident this morning just outside the school.”

McMullen added, “Dr. Linda Davis was a beloved member of our school family, and her loss has affected us deeply.”
