A tragic drunk-driving incident in Arlington, Texas, resulted in three illegal immigrants being arrested after a fatal crash that claimed the life of a 22-year-old individual on Saturday night.

The incident unfolded when Cesar Ramirez Castro, age 25, lost control of his truck on Interstate 20, veering onto the shoulder and colliding with a stationary vehicle. The impact forced the parked vehicle into a concrete barrier, causing it to burst into flames.

Law enforcement officials discovered the remains of the 22-year-old victim inside the burned vehicle after firefighters extinguished the blaze.

Following the incident, authorities arrested Ramirez Castro on multiple charges, including intoxication manslaughter and a collision resulting in death.

The two other occupants of Ramirez Castro’s vehicle, Marcelino Ramirez-Ramirez, 30, and Daniel Castro Zammarron, 24, were also taken into custody and charged with public intoxication.

Records from the local jail indicate that immigration holds have been placed on all three individuals involved in the incident.
