Illegal Alien’s Speeding, Reckless Passing Maneuver on I-95 Left Maine Woman Dead, Husband Critically Injured: MSP Crash Report

The illegal alien who caused a crash that resulted in the death of Maine woman entered the U.S. in January and had already obtained a Mass. Drivers License by the time of the April crash.

The illegal alien who in April caused a fatal car crash on I-95 in April, leaving an Albion woman dead and her husband in critical condition, was speeding and attempted a passing maneuver in the median side breakdown lane, according to the Maine State Police crash report.

The multi-vehicle accident occurred at about 8:45 a.m. on Friday, April 26, near Exit 19 on I-95 in Wells. At the time of the crash, the weather was clear and the road surface was dry.

According to the Maine State Police crash report, finalized in late September, 23-year-old Oguzhan Cildir was driving a black Toyota Prius southbound on I-95, traveling at a speed exceeding the posted speed limit (70 mph).

“[Cildir] was traveling at a high rate of speed attempted a pass from the median side breakdown lane,” the report states.

It was during the passing maneuver that the Prius, operated by Cildir, struck a pickup truck operated by 53-year-old Gloria Cascio of Albion.

“[Cildir] struck [Cascio’s vehicle], redirecting both vehicles into the guardrail in the breakdown lane,” the report continues, stating that both the Prius and pickup truck were sent at different angles across three lanes of the highway, causing two other vehicles to become involved in the crash.

Gloria Cascio was pronounced dead at the scene of the crash. Her passenger and husband, Albion resident Vincent Cascio, 60, had to be flown by helicopter to Maine Medical Center with serious injuries.

The report indicates that Cildir, a resident of Brighton, Mass., was not the owner of the Prius, and that he had an active Class C Massachusetts commercial driver’s license.

Cildir had managed to obtain that drivers license despite having entered into the U.S. illegally just months earlier.

The owner of the vehicle, according to the report, was Mustafa Ali Efe, of Chelsea, Mass.

None of the operators of the other three vehicles involved in the crash had any contributing action to the crash, the report states.

A U.S. Department of Homeland Security official told the Maine Wire in April that the Customs and Border Protection’s resident agent in Albion was contacted when Cildir was arrested at the scene of the accident because the arresting agency found that he “had immigration status from when he crossed on the Southwest border” in January 2024.

Following the finalization of the Maine State Police crash report, the Maine Wire again reached out to York County District Attorney Kathryn Slattery to ask if her office plans to charge Cildir with a crime in relation to the fatal crash.

How sad. Every politician that made this decision for illegals running amuck in the USA.We need to hold Massachusetts accountable able too. Massachusetts does not even test them. I watched an undercover video on the process of getting a drivers license in Massachusetts for an illegal. Illegals get special treatment. As Howie Carr has said… just treat me as an illegal

I’m surprised more of this hasn’t happened. Or is it just not being reported?
I get tailgated and almost hit just about every week by illegals thanks to ME handing out licenses.
Some of them drive pretty nice vehicles.
Saw a Range Rover & Mercedes this week so far.

What’s the criteria for obtaining a drivers license in Mass? Understanding English road signs? nope, Knowing the rules of the road? nope, Being able to pass a driving test? nope. Having the application fee? Congratulations!

They lost track of him within a couple weeks of this happening. I remember they were trying to get answers from the state police, the DA, anyone about if he was in jail, deported, or if they just let him go. But nobody would say anything. Which when they won’t tell you if they did anything, best assume they did nothing, and they’re walking around free.

I hope someone is looking into how he got a commercial driver’s license in Massachusetts. Us normal folks need to get training, a sponsor and road test. I guess they just hand them out to illegals in Mass.

Cildir is lost. What about the 323,000 illegal kids who are lost? All assonated with this should be in Jail, the license givers, Mass. officials Joe Biden and the senators who supported open boarders.

Worse yet, a point not mentioned in the comments is that he held a COMMERCIAL drivers license. How can that be? 80,000 pounds of a lethal weapon to someone who clearly has NO respect for United State’s laws since his mere presence is ILLEGAL

“The report indicates that Cildir, a resident of Brighton, Mass., was not the owner of the Prius, and that he had an active Class C Massachusetts commercial driver’s license.”

Anyone remember the “Mass. Man” from the Ukraine with a MA commercial license that ran over all those bikers in N.H,? A driver’s license from MA is worth less than a confederate dollar bill.

Mike is confusing mental illness with deliberate disregard of law. I can find no real number for deaths caused immigrants because sanctuary cities wont report but it’s obvious that the open border is the main cause of the 80,000 drug deaths a year so just add murders caused by illegal’s on top of that.

It seems one person taking 60 lives and impacting countless more isn’t a big deal to those who posted. In 6 gave me a thumbs down.

Of course all deaths are tragic but the commits here pertain to the article above. I think your post would get more traction for stories like…. say the transvestite shooters at Denver, Aberdeen, Colorado Springs, Nashville and Uvalde for example. You see, mental issues.
