The man who allegedly ran off after a crash that left a young girl with a broken back was supposed to be deported in 2008, a prosecutor said.
When Juan Serrano-Ortega was caught driving without a license in Kansas four years ago, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement secured an order to have him deported. But Serrano-Ortega, 25, came up with enough bond money to get out of jail and fled Kansas, a prosecutor said. Serrano-Ortega wound up living in Plainfield and on Monday he was in Troy Township, right outside Shorewood, where he allegedly crashed his girlfriend's pickup truck into a minivan and sent a young girl to the hospital with a broken back. The day after the crash, Will County Judge Marzell Richardson set Serrano-Ortega's bond at $500,000. Serrano-Ortega only needs to post 10 percent of that to get out of jail again. But even if he has that kind of money — Serrano-…

Maybe if more people were held responsible for thier actions then more people would think twice about getting behind the wheel after intoxication. Jail doesnt seem to deter it and the streets are full of people that are driving on revoked/suspended drivers licenses. more ›
