The Tennessee Conservative Staff –
East Ridge officers arrested an illegal alien from Venezuela in connection with a deadly crash that occurred Saturday morning inside the Bachman Tunnels that connect the community of East Ridge to Chattanooga through Missionary Ridge.
24-year-old Yerson Ysaac Sanchez Rivera has been charged with three counts of vehicular homicide, along with driving under the influence, reckless driving, failure to maintain lane, and failure to exercise due care.
Sanchez Rivera is also charged with three counts of duty to render aid after he left his wrecked car and attempted to flee the scene before being apprehended by police.
According to police, Sanchez Rivera admitted to consuming a 12-pack of beer and driving between 60 and 70 miles per hour in a 40 mph zone when the crash occurred.
Officers arrived at the scene of the accident at 5:56 a.m. to find that the Honda Civic had traveled up the concrete wall on the right side of the road and hit the pedestrian guardrail, which penetrated the vehicle. A man and woman were both observed to have been partially ejected in the accident.
A nurse who witnessed the accident said the vehicle passed her at a high speed just before the crash. She said the driver then tried to pull two of the victims from the vehicle, but she warned him to stop.
As the man fled the scene, the nurse checked on the victims and found that none of them had a pulse. When police returned Sanchez Rivera to the scene, the nurse identified him as the driver.
The deceased have been identified as 29-year-old Kimberlyn Lopez Gallard, 24-year-old Alexandra Vera, and Edguar Medina, estimated to be between 20 and 25 years old.
Sanchez Rivera, who is reportedly a Venezuelan national, is currently being held in the Hamilton County Jail on a $270,000 bond.

Compliments of lucifer’s dimmercraps.
What a wonderful mayor the city of Chattanooga has. This is the office he created last year. “Chattanooga Office Of New Americans Appears To Encourage Illegal Alien Participation In Community Services.” When is this criminal behavior going to stop in these liberaturd cities. Keep electing fools like this.
In God we trust in government or man.
Have a blessed day.
