Forest Grove fatal crash: For teen charged with hit and run, 'difficult times are here' | OregonLive.com
October 28, 2013 at 1:51 PM
Before the Sunday night crash that killed two young step-sisters playing in a pile of leaves in Forest Grove, Cinthya Garcia-Cisneros, along with her boyfriend and brother, went to get something to eat.
Attorneys for Garcia-Cisneros said Friday, Oct. 25, that the teens went to Sonic Drive-In in Cornelius, where Garcia-Cisneros had recently been hired.
From there, the three started toward home in a 2001 Nissan Pathfinder. Court records say Garcia-Cisneros was driving. The vehicle, records say, belonged to her boyfriend Mario Echeverrias mother.
Garcia-Cisneros purposely drove through a large leaf pile on Main Street, according to court records, and felt a significant bump. At her home, blocks away, she asked Echeverria to check the SUV for damage. Her 17-year-old brother returned to the scene on Main Street and told his sister she had run over a child, records say.
Police say step-sisters Abigail Robinson, 11, and Anna Dieter-Eckerdt, 6, were struck while apparently lying in the leaf pile on Sunday. Anna died at the scene. Abigail died the next night at a Portland hospital.
Garcia-Cisneros and Echeverria, both 18, were arrested Tuesday evening. In Washington County Circuit Court, Garcia-Cisneros has been charged with two counts of felony hit and run. Echeverria faces one count of hindering prosecution. Records say Echeverria took the SUV to a car wash after the crash to destroy evidence.
Garcia-Cisneros, born in Mexico, has lived nearly all of her life in the United States, her attorneys said. She graduated from Forest Grove High School in 2012, and attended local elementary and middle schools before that.
Attorneys Jesse Merrithew and Ethan Levi, who represent Garcia-Cisneros, said their client has a drivers license, a valid Social Security number and a temporary renewable work permit under the federal Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program. The program is available to undocumented immigrants who entered the U.S. before turning 16, are 30 or younger, have been living here for at least five years and are in school, graduated from high school or served in the military. Applicants cannot have certain criminal convictions.

If obozo had enforced the law and deported this monster, this wouldn't have happened. Yes indeed, it's his fault.
This girl didn't mean to kill the kids - she didn't even know they were there.

You don't know any of that. She's a mexican and she breaks the law every day by living here illegally. I wouldn't put anything past her.

If this person hadn't been in the country illegally in the first place, Obama wouldn't have to deport them.
I can play this game, too, you know.

She didn't know they were there. That much we do know.
The article says the leaf pile was on the street - was it on a nature strip, or actually on the road? Why were two kids hiding in a pile of leaves, on the road, knowing cars travel past and could harm them?
This girl didn't mean to kill the kids - she didn't even know they were there. Its no different than driving through a water puddle - of course, you could see if someone was hiding in a puddle, but the point is, why were a couple of kids hiding in leaves on the road in the first place?
