The mothers and families of the victims of a fatal car crash expressed how upset and outraged they are. This is because the man accused of drinking and driving is a police officer.
This is regarding a car accident that happened late, last Friday night. Police say North Chicago police office Terrell Garrett was drunk and out celebrating his 35th birthday. The Officer turned onto Lake Shore Drive and was going the wrong-way and hit another car head-on.
Inside the other car was DePaul student Fabian Torres and his friend Joaquin Garcia who were both killed. Their mothers called on prosecutors today to move the case forward.
He’s currently hospitalized and a judge this weekend gave him a $500.00 dollar bond. That means if he can post $50,000, he can go free with electronic monitoring until the trial.
