    INDIANAPOLIS (WTHR/NBC) - Colts Edwin Jackson was one of two people killed in a crash on I-70 in Indianapolis.
    According to NBC affiliate WTHR, Indiana State Police say the driver of a 2018 Lincoln that stopped on the side of the road was 54-year-old Jeffrey Monroe of Avon, Indiana. They believe he was a ride-sharing operator who was driving 26-year-old Edwin Jackson, who plays for the Indianapolis Colts, and Jackson became ill. WTHR reports Monroe pulled to the side of the road and got out of the car to assist Jackson.
    WTHR says a suspected drunk driver, driving a pick-up truck, hit Monroe, Jackson and their car. One of the victims was thrown along the shoulder of the interstate, and the other victim was thrown into the center travel lane of the roadway.
    Both Jackson and Monroe were pronounced dead at the scene, officials say.
    The driver of the truck has been identified and taken to jail.
    The Indianapolis Colts have released a statement on the death of inside linebacker Edwin Jackson:
    “We were heartbroken to hear the news of Edwin Jackson’s passing. Edwin was loved by all in the Colts organization. We admired his outgoing personality, competitive spirit and hard-working mentality. He was well-respected among all with whom he crossed paths, and he will be greatly missed in our locker room and throughout our entire organization. We also understand that another person lost his life in the accident, only adding to our sorrow on this day. We are shocked and saddened by this tragedy, and our thoughts and prayers are with the families of both men during this difficult time.”

    Horrible news, and the sad thing is EVERY scumbag "Sanctuary" city would have ignored his ICE detainer and let him walk free had he just been caught driving drunk and not killed someone.

    I don't know if there are any statistics on it, but I would be very curious to know what the rate of drunk driving is among the illegal immigrant population versus the population in general. Seems like half the time you hear the media sob stories about someone facing deportation, etc., etc., they have a "clean record except for (insert number) DUI convictions."

    One thing I do know is that in Mexico and most of Central America, standard practice is that traffic violations are settled informally by paying cash on the spot, or if you don't have any on you at the moment, they'll hold your license at the station until you come pay them in cash. I would not be surprised at all if that led to a cavalier attitude about drinking and driving; I mean shit, if the police treat it like it's not a big deal, why would you?
    See you Space Cowboy ...
