Illegal alien driving without a license charged in Charlotte baby's death

A Honduran woman who was driving in Charlotte without a license is facing an involuntary manslaughter charge after she was involved in a head-on crash that killed a 14-month-old girl.

Dora Del Carmen Sosa, 33, was released from Carolinas Medical Center and taken to the Mecklenburg County Sheriff's Office where she was served warrants for involuntary manslaughter, felony child abuse, and driving with no operators license. The baby girl was a passenger in Sosa's car, but it was not made clear by police if they are related.

Sosa is a Honduran national and is in the country illegally, federal officials said. Undocumented immigrants are not allowed to have a driver's license in North Carolina. The city of Charlotte has been criticized in the past few years because city police will not ask the citizenship status of people caught driving in the city without a license. They are issued tickets, but not arrested.
