ILLINOIS – A suspect involved in a fatal hit-and-run crash in Urbana has been arrested in Texas after fleeing the scene and using a false identity, authorities said.

Arrest Made in Fatal Hit-and-Run

Crash Details :

The crash occurred at 1:55 a.m. Jan. 19 at the intersection of University Avenue and Coler Avenue.

A Honda Civic was traveling eastbound on University and stopped at Coler for a red light when a Mitsubishi SUV, heading in the same direction at a high speed, struck the Civic. The collision caused severe damage to both vehicles and multiple injuries, according to Urbana police.

Five people were in the Civic at the time of the crash, and all were transported to the hospital.

Two were released, while two others remain hospitalized, one with serious injuries. The fifth victim, a 20-year-old woman, died at the hospital, according to police. 

Family members of the deceased 20-year-old woman identified her as Katie Abraham. 

The SUV driver fled on foot, heading south on Coler, and was not initially located by officers.

Driver Arrested in Texas:

Urbana police obtained a new arrest warrant on Jan. 23 for the SUV driver. 

Authorities identified the driver as 29-year-old Julio Cucul Bol, of Guatemala, who had previously used the alias Juan JaHaziel Saenz-Suarez and falsified Mexican paperwork.

Bol was located in Milford, Texas, by the U.S. Marshals Service while riding an El Expreso bus heading for Matamoros, Mexico, according to a report from FOX News. Milford is located about an hour south of Dallas.

Bol was taken to the Dallas County Jail to await extradition. The U.S. Marshals Service confirmed he had been previously deported from the U.S.

Bol is now facing multiple charges in connection with the deadly crash, which include: 

• Leaving the scene of a personal injury crash resulting in death (2 counts)
• Aggravated driving under the influence resulting in death
• Reckless homicide (2 counts)
