Tampa, Florida - Police say the driver charged with leaving the scene of a fatal accident on the Courtney Campbell Causeway Thursday night is from Mexico and in this country illegally.
Four-and-a-half-year-old Joshua Morrow and his 42-year-old uncle Ronald Bishop were killed in the westbound lanes of the causeway at Bay Harbor Drive.
A witness followed the suspects gold-colored SUV and gave police the tag number.
Clearwater police arrested 26-year-old Armando Lopez-Canada a short time later.
The illegal immigrant is now charged with leaving the scene of an accident with death.
Brenda Andujar, Victims Grandmother:
I just cant believe how cold and callous a person would be to know that they hit two human beings and just keep on going regardless of his immigration status and just being a human being.
Lopez-Canada and three other illegal immigrants in the SUV were on their way home from a construction job for PCL in Orlando.
He was able to get a drivers license with his Mexican passport and immigration application, but his license is expired.
Lopez-Canada also owned the vehicle involved in the fatal accident.
