Prosecutors in two states have announced charges in separate fatal vehicle crashes involving drivers who authorities say lacked legal immigration status.

In Arizona, prosecutors have indicted a woman on manslaughter charges following a rollover crash that killed her daughter. According to authorities, toxicology results allegedly showed the presence of drugs in the woman's system at the time of the incident.

Separately in Oklahoma, authorities have charged a driver in connection with a wrong-way collision on Interstate 40 in Canadian County that killed four people. The crash involved a driver traveling in the wrong direction who authorities say was under the influence of alcohol.

Both drivers are facing criminal charges related to the deaths, with prosecutors in each case noting the defendants' immigration status. The crashes represent separate incidents with no apparent connection beyond the immigration status of the drivers involved.

The cases highlight ongoing enforcement actions by local prosecutors in vehicle fatality cases. Details about court proceedings and potential penalties in both cases were not immediately available.
