Edy Lopez-Hernandez, a twice deported illegal immigrant is charged in relation to the DUI death of a Houston, Texas area girl after crashing his vehicle into another car. Victim identified as 17 year old girl, Britney Baez. 

A 27 year old man who had been deported twice has been arrested after crashing into another automobile and killing a Texas female.

Arrested at the scene was Edy Lopez-Hernandez, with the illegal immigrant charged with ‘murder, intoxication assault and failure to stop and render aid in connection with the crash’ after plowing into the vehicle carrying 17 year old teen girl Britney Baez as she traveled with her family on the way to the movies, Sunday afternoon.

A statement released by the Houston Police Department told of the driver crashing his Mustang sports car while high on drugs. At the time, Lopez-Hernandez was traveling with his two year old son. It was then after the crash that the father fled the scene with his son in tow. A witness stopped him nearby and told him he needed to go back to the scene.

KTRK reported Baez’s sister, Nicole Baez saying that she was in the backseat with her sister when a car slammed into the rear of the vehicle they were traveling in.

‘We were on the way and we just stopped at that light,’ recalled the sister who suffered a broken arm.

‘I just remember sitting down on the sidewalk, my mom was still screaming my sister’s name. I can hear my dad asking for water. I could sort of see people around me, that’s when my arm started killing me,’ she continued.

Their father was critically injured in the collision and remains in intensive care.
