From Fox News: A 30-year-old native of Honduras who had illegally been living in the U.S. has been charged in a fatal wreck that killed an Arkansas woman earlier this month.
Maynor Yair Sorto-Herrera was arrested on Sept. 9 by the Arkansas State Police for the crash that occurred the morning prior. State police say Sorto-Herrera was driving a 2008 Ford F150 when it crossed into the opposite side of the roadway before striking a 2016 Honda CRV head on, killing Jennifer Ann Morton, 48, of Little Rock.
Sorto-Herrera was located by police walking away from the scene. He was taken to a hospital to be checked out for his injuries prior to being taken to the Pulaski County Detention Center.
The suspect is charged with negligent homicide, battery, driving under the influence, violation of the concealed weapons act, reckless driving, driving without a license, failure to stop after an accident with death and traffic violations.
The report explains that Sorto-Herrera was first caught by Border Patrol agents in October 2018, during the Trump administration, near Laredo, Texas. He was deported back to Honduras the very next month, on Nov. 5, 2018.
It is unknown when he returned to the United States.
Jennifer Morton had worked as a respiratory therapist at Arkansas Children’s Hospital in their Infant Toddler Unit. She had been employed at the children’s hospital for 24 years, and was a member of Landmark Missionary Baptist Church.
