The incident began when Martinez\u2019 Jeep Gladiator nearly struck a parked car; he fled from pursuing officers,leading to a crash that also involved a Honda sedan and a Dodge van,with an 83-year-old woman injured.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Federal officials say an illegal immigrant was behind the wheel in a Jan. 21 accident that left a 59-year-old California man dead.<\/p>\n<p>Darwin Felipe Bahmon Martinez has been charged with gross vehicular manslaughter, evading a police officer causing death, and reckless driving, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbclosangeles.com\/news\/local\/man-linked-to-deadly-pursuit-crash-in-placentia-is-undocumented-officials-say\/3842182\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">KNBC-TV<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>He is currently jailed with bail set at $2 million.<\/p>\n<p>Martinez, 21, is an illegal immigrant from Colombia, according to a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ice.gov\/news\/releases\/ice-lodges-immigration-detainer-against-criminal-illegal-alien-accused-negligent\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">news release<\/a> from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">BREAKING: ICE confirms to <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/FoxNews?\">@FoxNews<\/a> that the suspect arrested for allegedly killing an innocent 59-year-old man after crashing into his car during a police pursuit in Anaheim, CA is a Colombian illegal alien who was caught &amp;
