Man traveling 95 mph had a blood-alcohol level of 0.19 when he slammed into a car driven by a father of four, police say.
A motorist's blood-alcohol level was more than twice the legal limit when his speeding truck plowed into a man's car, killing the man, in Carson last week, sheriff's deputies said Tuesday.
Quirino Mateo Antonio, 30, of Lomita, who was driving 95 mph with a blood-alcohol level of 0.19, was charged Tuesday with gross vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated and drunken driving causing death and injury.
The legal limit for driving in California is 0.08.
"He's facing a lot of time," Carson sheriff's traffic Investigator Jon Tedder said.
The Jan. 8 crash killed Juan Gabriel Ontiveros, a 32-year-old husband and father of four who was on his way home from his trucking job in Wilmington at 3:30 a.m. Investigators said Antonio was at the wheel of a Toyota Tacoma that hit Ontiveros' 1987 Cadillac Coupe Deville broadside at Sepulveda Boulevard and Wilmington Avenue.

That request remained current Tuesday.
In August 2003, Antonio was deported from the United States after he was detained in San Ysidro and determined to be an illegal immigrant, authorities said.
Antonio was ordered to leave the country and told he could not return legally for five years.

“It doesn’t matter if it’s a US citizen or someone here illegally, bad people do bad things to good people and that’s the bottom line,” said Harry Garewal, President of the Arizona Hispanic Chamber of Commerce.
It doesn’t matter?? IT DOESN’T MATTER???? - We are missing the ability to think logically here. That’s THE most idiotic uttering of this century, shaping illegals policy in the SW and my home state thanks to the idiot Sen. Kennedy.
Lot of good that did. Our immigration laws are a hugh joke.

I agree with you.
Maybe all the people who have been harmed by criminal aliens, and there are thousands and thousands of them, could get together and file a hugh class action lawsuit against the Federal Government for failing to enforce existing immigration laws.
This is what Senor McCain has brought to those of us living in the southwest.....Todos Ilegales who have no regard for our laws. A vote for McCain is a vote for for these events.
And so are the four children and wife of the man who was killed.
Let's here it for open door Jorge, the deliverer of death to the American public.
Convicted illegals should lose “forever” any right to become US citizens.
Great idea. I’ll sign on in a heartbeat.

Actually, the biggest jerk-offs on the road have CA plates and live in San Francisco and sit on the 9th circus.
