@thejohnettecruz: An off-duty Hammond police officer faces felony charges following a high-speed, multi-vehicle crash that killed a local driver. Alonso J. Lopez, 34, surrendered to authorities after state police completed their initial crash reconstruction. He is facing: * OWI Causing Death (Level 4 Felony) * Reckless Homicide (Level 5 Felony) The Incident: Investigators say Lopez was driving a 2024 Chevy Silverado at a high rate of speed on Columbia Ave near 165th Ave when he struck a Toyota Highlander entering the roadway. The collision killed the Toyota driver, Thomas Hunt, Jr., 34, of Gary. A third vehicle was also hit in the aftermath; that driver was treated for non-life-threatening injuries. Alcohol and excessive speed are believed to be contributing factors. State police note additional charges may follow as the investigation continues. #hammondindiana #indiana #owi #topnewsusa

especially being a police officer someone who should know the results of drinking and driving i feel he should never be released from prison! he most definitely deserves life without the possibility of parole

Tee Simpson :

I’m not making excuses for the officer, but first responders have some of the highest rates of drug abuse and suicide. In addition, driving at night is more dangerous, due to a 30% higher rate of substance abuse by drivers. Condolences to the family and friends of the victim.

Move up not down :

the only time they get caught for driving under the influence is when they hit someone. sooooo many times they will get pulled over but let go smh

Buhbye :

Wow, I am so glad he was arrested.
