An Indian national was charged in the United States in connection with a fatal high-speed car crash that killed his pregnant teenage partner and her unborn child in Ohio, as the victim's family has called for his deportation, according to a report by Newsweek.
Seventeen-year-old Ashlee Holmes was a passenger in a Range Rover Velar on February 16 when the vehicle failed to stop for law enforcement and a pursuit began, according to authorities.
The Ohio State Highway Patrol crash report stated that the SUV was first clocked at 79 mph in a 55 mph zone before accelerating to more than 120 mph during the chase.
Officials said the driver lost control while negotiating a curve, crossed into oncoming traffic, struck a Jeep, and overturned multiple times.
Holmes was ejected from the vehicle and suffered fatal injuries.
