In Houston: No Roads Are Safe

Driving while under the influence ... without a license ... in the country illegally ... this, as we've seen over and over and over, is a recipe for tragedy.

ABC13, of Houston, reports that, "The driver accused in a deadly hit-and-run accident that killed a pregnant mother and her son appeared before a judge Thursday morning for the first time.

Police say 28-year-old Moises Alvarenga (in the photo) confessed to running away after causing the deadly crash on the Ship Channel Bridge last weekend. Alvarenga was in court today to hear the charges against him."

Fox 26 notes that, "The impact ejected both victims over the bridge. Luz Campos, 35, and her son David fell 147 feet to their deaths."

David was 12-years-old; Alvarenga is a Honduran national.
