1:30 p.m.A preliminary hearing scheduled for tomorrow morning for the driver accused of hitting a Napa woman whose legs were amputated as a result of the crash is delayed until March 14.
Francisco Pacheco, 24, faces charges of DUI and hit-and-run from the Feb. 3 crash where his car struck Lilian Clark, who was behind her doubled-parked vehicle on South Terrace Drive in Napa.
Pacheco fled the scene and was arrested after neighbors followed him from the crash.
He was placed on an Immigration and Customs Enforcement hold at the Napa County Jail. ICE seeks holds on criminal suspects who the agency believes may be in the United States illegally. Such holds may result in deportation.
Pacheco is on probation for a 2007 DUI conviction, and has a misdemeanor DUI case from last year that is pending.
At a court hearing today, the matter was continued because accident reports from the California Highway Patrol had not been completed, according to Napa County Chief Deputy District Attorney John Goold.
Clark's legs were crushed so badly in the crash that doctors had to amputate them above the knee on the evening of the crash.

Perhaps your friend might consider giving up the behaviors that result in his going to jail? A statement like that really adds fuel to the "illegals-are-causing-all-the-trouble" fire. "

I've finally decided to join groups for activism because of this issue. Now, Pelosi is trying to push through a 5-year visa for illegal aliens. Yep, another back door type amnesty. She is undermining her own party. Congressman Heath Schuler has a bill called the SAVE ACT that has 144 co-sponsors bipartisan yet she and a handful of special interests will try to push through the visas over enformcement. Good old Nancy. "
