A 27-year-old man, is set to appear before Teesside Magistrates Court this morning (11th Feb). However, the incident has already re-ignited already 'simmering' tensions within the local community, coming just 15 months after a Hartlepool man was killed by a Moroccan asylum seeker who had previously failed multiple applications to remain in the UK & across Europe.
Community Outrage on Social Media
Social media has been flooded with reactions, with many expressing their condolences to the victim’s family whilst also voicing frustration over the circumstances surrounding the incident.
One commenter wrote:
“Another innocent life lost—all because of yet another illegal immigrant driving without a UK licence or insurance. The police stop the wrong people, and this government still refuses to learn, allowing illegals to reside in this country.”
Another stated:
“How can this be happening in a society that is supposed to protect its citizens? We are so frightened to speak out against illegal immigrants for fear of offending someone that we are now putting their ‘feelings’ above our own health and safety. This needs to stop.”
A third comment read:
“Let’s call it what it is—an innocent pedestrian has been killed by an illegal immigrant (criminal) driving without a UK licence (criminal) or insurance (criminal). My deepest condolences to the young man’s family.”
Legal Proceedings Underway
Teesside Today understands that the identity of the driver appearing in court remains undisclosed at the time of publication, where is expected he will be remanded into custody until a trial date is set.
As the case unfolds, its claimed the local community is now watching closely, with locals demanding answers from the government over how the UK's failure to secure its borders may have once again led to another tragic loss of life.
