Six people died after the pickup truck crashed into a van carrying 15 passengers mid May in Idaho Falls. All of the van passengers were Mexican citizens, who were here as temporary agricultural workers on H-2A visas.
The nine other passengers were taken to the hospital and treated for their injuries.
The truck driver, 26-year-old Luis Garcia-Díaz, was hospitalized. Idaho State Police arrested him on Friday, after he was released from the hospital. He now faces six counts of felony vehicular manslaughter.
