Illegal Immigrant Arrested In Wreck On 45th Street (Chattanooga)
An illegal immigrant has been arrested in the case in which a vehicle plowed into a house at 2805 45th St. in East Lake Tuesday morning and injured a 91-year-old woman.

Facing numerous charges is Vitalina Bautista Vargas.

She is being charged with leaving the scene of an accident with injuries, driving without a license, no proof of insurance and reckless aggravated assault.

The victim, Louella Winton, remains hospitalized at Erlanger Medical Center in serious but stable condition.

She was reportedly in bed when the vehicle knocked her through the bedroom wall and threw her against the wall of the house next door. Chattanooga firefighters pulled her from the debris, and handed her over to paramedics with Hamilton County EMS, which transported her to Erlanger Medical Center.

Ms. Winton received some cuts and bruises.
