    and driver flies thru the windshield......

    but seriously, it's things like this, that put ideas into the minds of the citizen rights groups that cannot stand truck or truck drivers, to push for tougher laws, fines, gizmos on trucks....

    Truck Driver in Fatal I-70 Crash Free After Bonding Out, Innocence Still Claimed

    Zenisek set bond at $400,000 cash/surety and affixed the conditions that Aguilera-Mederos not drive upon release and surrender his passport.

    Typically, 10 percent of a bond is required for an individual to be freed. Various fundraisers were staged for Aguilera-Mederos on Facebook and GoFundMe, and on May 8, Gonzalez posted that the amount pledged had reached $39,987.

    Three days later, on May 11, she updated the total to $42,470 — a figure that exceeded 10 percent of the bond.

    no, he should not have made bail, he should face all charges, go to jail for x number of years..THEN be deported back to his homeland

    to deport him noiw, is the same as him fleeing......"he got away with it".....

    It's not that his name isn't American...HE isn't American.
    As for your second paragraph,
    yes, we have incompetent drivers in America. Is that an argument for importing more of them from Cuba (or Iraq or Pakistan or..) and giving them CDLs when they aren't even literate in English ? Or that we shouldn't object to this one's imminent flight (or more likely speedboat ride) from justice ?

    18 year olds have always driven trucks, they just have to or are suppose to stay within the state.
    I am not sure how that actually worked when I was younger, I drove for a couple of different companies in Tx, on a NM license. After I changed it to Tx, I drove in Nm and for a company in Cali, I do not know or care if it was legal back then, but no one employer or leo ever said anything about it.

    Nothing he nor anybody else can bring justice to those involved, the sad truth.
