An illegal immigrant in Indiana was arrested after he allegedly caused a fatal semi-truck crash, according to officials.
The Portage Police Department said Broko Stankovic was driving on U.S. Highway 20 in Indiana on Wednesday when traffic came to a stop due to a Ram Sprinter turning near Douglas Drive, but the suspect didn’t appear to slow down in his semi-truck, according to FOX 32.
Officials said Stankovic attempted to make a hard evasive left turn when he entered opposite traffic and hit a Subaru Crosstrek.
The semi-truck jackknifed as a result and hit the Ram Sprinter, which was pushed into a road sign. Police said the 54-year-old driver of the Subaru died at the scene.
