It happened at mile one on the Northern Highway at the Dream Like City nightclub. 41-year-old British Sergeant Lee Humphreys, attached to BATSUB was driving an F150 pickup and appears to have put it in the wrong gear - he thought it was in reverse, but it was in drive, and when he hit the gas, he ran over 43-year-old Salvadorean Jose Chinchilla Molina and his three friends who were socializing at Sonia's Diner, which is just outside the nightclub. Chinchilla was crushed under his wheel and died on the spot. Sargeant Humphries was taken into custody and his vehicle was impounded. Today police told us it is not a regular criminal prosecution:...
