Drunken Driver Kills Nun in VA

Posted: Aug 3, 2010

Denise Mosier, a 66-year-old nun, was killed in a collision in Prince William County when police said a drunken driver crossed the center line and hit the car she was riding in head-on.

The three nuns in the car were headed to a retreat at the Saint Benedict Monastery in Bristow about five miles away from the scene of the crash on Bristow Road near Wright Lane at about 8:20 a.m. Sunday.

Sister Andrea Verchuck said Mosier was a joyful person.

“Sister Denise was a beautiful person, a very spiritual person and a very happy and a very jovial happy person. She loved music and dance and she loved teaching. As a matter of fact she spent several years teaching in Africa,” said Sister Andrea Verchuck.

Police said Carlos Montano, 23, of Bristow, was behind the wheel of the Subaru Outback that hit the nuns. He is an illegal immigrant who was out on bond awaiting a deportation hearing, police said Monday.

Montano was driving south on Bristow Road when he hit a guardrail and crossed into the path of the nuns’ Toyota Corolla, which was traveling north, police said.

Police said Mosier was in the back seat and was not wearing a seatbelt. She was pronounced dead at the scene. Sister Charlotte Lange and Sister Connie Ruth Lupton suffered severe injuries and were hospitalized.

Police said Montano was speeding and under the influence of alcohol at the time of the crash, and this isn’t the first time he’s driven drunk.

He’s been charged with DUI for the third time in five years, involuntary manslaughter and driving on a revoked license related to a DUI offense, according to Prince William County police Officer Jonathan Perok. Prince William County police notified U.S. Immigration and Naturalization officials about Montano after his second drunken driving arrest in October 2008, Perok said.

Politicizing a tragedy such as this is just plain tacky.

His bizarre reasoning for shooting an unrelated UPS driver and his odd smiling booking photo might mean he was driven more by mental illness than a political ideology. Please don't turn this into a gun control rant. We have 25,000 guns laws that include mental illness. His actions show premeditation.

Sorry if this is a repeat but I just saw it on the news yesterday because they did her sentencing. She only got 90 days with 6 months of house arrest. She was driving 37 kids on a school bus while she was drunk, all the while, the kids were pleading with her to stop. She kept saying she was fine and they kept telling her she wasn't. She finally did stop, and the older kids, showing an amazing amount of maturity, helped the smaller kids off the bus, then got off ...

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — A Utah woman says she encountered only brief resistance when she recently had her driver's license photo taken while wearing a colander on her head as a religious statement.

Tyrants throughout history have known that beheading their enemies and placing the heads on pikes at the gates of their capitals sends a powerful message to everyone else. Behave yourself as we dictate, and you may survive. Cross the king, and you are a dead man. Something very similar, but updated and taken to a vast financial level, happened to ITT Tech, the privately owned trade school/university. As the Wall Street Journal explains, it crossed the king (in this case, the Obama Department ...

I hope the tensions don't continue to escalate. What was the officer supposed to do? What is any officer to do when he or she feels threatened? Yes, I realize there are some rogue cops. There are always bad apples, but the entire law enforcement community and the entire general public should not be paying the price for those few bad apples. I want my community back. I want my shopping mall back. I want my streets and bridges back. If you must protest, do it lawfully and do not negatively ...

Divide and conquer. ISIS seems to understand this philosophy very well. Provide videos to divide response in U.S. Put our hostage in harm's way and have the Jordanian's kill her?

Glad to see Jordan taking up for themselves in the region, and I suppose if the American hostage has been ...
