Colts' Edwin Jackson killed by driver illegally in U.S.

INDIANAPOLIS -- The suspected drunken driver accused of hitting and killing Indianapolis Colts linebacker Edwin Jackson has been living in the country illegally, the Indiana State Police announced Monday.

The driver of the truck that killed Jackson and the ride-sharing operator driving the Colts linebacker along the side of Interstate 70 in Indianapolis early Sunday morning had been using the alias Alex Cabrera Gonsales, the police said in a release. Gonsales' given name is Manuel Orrego-Savala and he's a citizen of Guatemala. Orrego-Savala had been deported in 2007 and 2009.

Orrego-Savala, 37, was arrested after trying to flee the scene on foot, according to the Indiana State Police.
