Arrest Made in I-85 Racing Wreck

ATLANTA (MyFOX Atlanta) — Police made an arrest Tuesday night in the drag racing accident that shut down part of Interstate 85 during the morning rush hour.
Police said the crash sent an innocent victim to the hospital with serious injuries.
Police have confirmed the arrest of a 24-year-old man who they said was the behind the wheel of a car — drag racing at high speeds — on Interstate 85 near Union City Tuesday morning.
But his arrest police said now brings up a bigger question — why was he allowed to drive in the first place? *snip*
During that race Gallardo rear-ended a Ford Explorer with so much force it flipped the SUV over, said police.
The woman driving it — 61-year-old Linda Wiglesworth — was taken to Atlanta Medical Center with serious injuries.
But Gallardo got away.
“He fled the scene prior to our officer’s arrival,” said Louth.
Police were able to track this car’s tags back to Gallardo. And his family police said, were able to get him to turn himself in.
During interviews Gallardo admitted to being in the country illegally, said police.
But somehow they said — even without a Georgia driver’s license — he was able to register his car and get up to date tags from Fulton County.
