An illegal alien is charged with killing four people after allegedly driving drunk on a freeway before crashing into another vehicle, Oklahoma authorities said Tuesday.
Michael Rosario-Cruz, 27, was released from the hospital and booked into the Canadian County Jail on multiple charges, including four counts of murder, two counts of DUI causing serious bodily harm, transporting an open container, possession of a firearm, possession of a firearm while intoxicated and driving the wrong way on a one-way street.
Rosario-Cruz was driving westbound Friday morning on the eastbound lanes of Interstate 40 in Canadian County, when he hit another vehicle head-on, the Oklahoma Highway Patrol said.

All four people who were traveling in the car that crashed, burned, and died. They range in age from 18 to 20, authorities said. The victims were identified as Kiercey Hickson, 20, Quincy Jones, 19, and Haliegh Salazar and Brad Palmer, both 18 years old.
“Driving while impaired is a reckless, life-changing decision,” the Highway Patrol said in a social media post announcing the charges. “The loss of these young lives will have a lasting impact on many family members, friends and communities.”
A spokesperson for the Oklahoma Highway Patrol told Fox News Digital that Rosario-Cruz is the subject of a US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrest warrant, which means ICE has requested to be notified when he is released from custody so they can arrest him and begin deportation.
