Illegal Mexican immigrant charged with vehicular homicide
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) -- Authorities say an illegal Mexican immigrant is charged with driving a vehicle that hit and killed a middle school principal.
Cesar Mejia will be transferred from Krome Detention Center to a jail where he will await trial on a vehicular homicide charge.
Authorities say Mejia tried to out run a yellow light March eighth and hit a vehicle driven by 62-year-old Margaret Campbell.
Campbell had been the principal at Western Pines Middle School since it opened in 1997.
Investigators say Mejia was carrying a driver's license from Mexico, which led to a charge of driving without a valid license.
It's not immediately known if Mejia has an attorney.

Fatal-crash probe starts with license issue
The pickup truck driver who allegedly ran a red light, killing a popular middle school principal, is being detained as an undocumented immigrant while investigators try to determine whether he had a valid driver's license.
Cesar Mejia, 30, is in the Krome Detention Center near Miami for entering the country without documentation from Mexico, said U.S. Border Patrol spokesman Steve McDonald. Mejia was driving a Dodge Ram 1500 with Georgia license plates on the Beeline Highway when he crossed paths with Margaret "Peggy" Campbell's small white Subaru at Pratt
Whitney Roadabout 7:30 a.m. Wednesday.
The four passengers with Mejia are also being detained as undocumented immigrants. They will all face deportation hearings, but Mejia's hearing will likely be postponed if he is charged criminally.
"We've asked them not to send him back bef
ore we get a chance to do our work," said Palm Beach County sheriff's Sgt. John Churchill.

5 illegals face deportation after killing principal - Unlawful immigrants piloted pickup truck that smashed into Florida woman's car
Margaret "Peggy" Campbell
of Jupiter Farms, Fla., was killed
when her car was struck by a
pickup truck carrying 5
suspected
illegal aliens
Deportation to Mexico is possible, if not likely, for five illegal aliens involved in a fatal traffic crash this week that claimed the life of a popular school principal in South Florida.
But authorities say the driver of the pickup truck that purportedly ran a red light and slammed into Margaret "Peggy" Campbell's car may have to first serve prison time
in the U.S. if convicted in connection with the accident.
