A tragic wrong-way collision on a Tennessee interstate has resulted in vehicular homicide charges against an undocumented immigrant. According to jail records, the suspect is now being detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

The accused, identified as 27-year-old Eric Ramon Alcantara-Guevara, faces charges of vehicular homicide, driving under the influence (DUI), and leaving the scene of an accident after a fatal crash that occurred Sunday night on Interstate 640 West in Knoxville.

The Knoxville Police Department reported that officers were dispatched around 7:15 p.m. on January 18 following reports of a wrong-way accident near the Broadway exit. A passenger vehicle, traveling in the incorrect lane, collided with a motorcycle heading westbound.

The motorcyclist was pronounced dead at the scene. Authorities are withholding the victim’s identity until the next of kin are notified.

Police say the occupants of the passenger vehicle fled the scene before officers arrived. A short time later, responding officers located Alcantara-Guevara and took him into custody. Investigators say he ran from the scene but was quickly apprehended.

Court and jail records show multiple warrants were issued against Alcantara-Guevara on Jan. 19, including a $125,000 pre-trial bond for vehicular homicide.

Those same records show a hold for immigration (ICE) was placed on him that day, indicating federal authorities believe he may be in the United States unlawfully.

Alcantara-Guevara appeared in court on Jan. 20 for several required 48-hour bond hearings and is scheduled to return to court again on Feb. 26, according to court records.

The Knoxville Police Department said the investigation into the crash remains ongoing.

ICE has not yet publicly confirmed Alcantara-Guevara’s immigration status or whether the agency had any prior contact with him before his arrest.

Sen. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., weighed in on the case, calling for strict punishment and deportation.

“Eric Ramon Alcantara-Guevara should face the full wrath of American justice, and he should be deported,” Blackburn said in a statement. “The Knoxville community is safer because law enforcement officers arrested this man and held him on an ICE detainer after he allegedly murdered a motorcyclist and fled the scene of the crime.”
