An illegal immigrant from Guatemala turned himself into Prince Georges County Police today, who then promptly turned him over to Montgomery County Police. Manuel De Jesus Gonzalez-Geronimo, of Hyattsville, has been charged with “failure to remain at the scene of a collision involving death and bodily injury and with driving without a license.”

The Sun report linked above says that Gonzalez-Geronimo reported he was “undocumented” during a court hearing. He is charged with hitting a parked construction truck that then hit 5 members of a road crew from PDI Sheetz (a state contractor) and killing 2 of the workers while injuring the other 3. The workers were on a guardrail taking a break.

Maryland is one of 8 states that does issue drivers’ licenses to illegals. In May, an illegal immigrant from Mexico was charged in the hit and run death of a University of Maryland student. In November, an illegal from Mexico was charged with “manslaughter and negligent homicide while under the influence” in the deaths of two people, including a Marine corporal.
