Immigrant is charged
with child endangerment
DATELAND - An illegal immigrant was arrested Wednesday on charges of child endangerment in a Sunday evening incident in which he and his daughter were run over by a Border Patrol vehicle, killing the 12-year-old girl.
Juan Cruz-Torralva of Juxtlahuaca, Oaxaca, Mexico, was hospitalized for three days following the incident, which happened in the desert about 10 miles southeast of Dateland, said Maj. Leon Wilmot of the Yuma County Sheriff's Office.
Cruz-Torralva and his daughter were apparently hiding in the brush when a Border Patrol agent in an SUV searching for undocumented immigrants inadvertently ran them over, the Border Patrol said Tuesday in a statement.
The daughter, Lourdes Cruz-Moralas, also of Juxtlahuaca, died at the scene.
Cruz-Torralva was released from the hospital Wednesday night and arrested after being interviewed by sheriff's detectives, Wilmot said.
The questioning "revealed that the suspect knew of the dangers of crossing the desert with the juvenile," Wilmot said.
