LAFAYETTE, Ind (DDN) – A 29-year-old man who reportedly rolled his vehicle three times on Interstate 65 last week, killing a lady and sending a 3-month-old to Riley Children’s Hospital in Indianapolis, is requesting refuge from Venezuela, according to authorities.

According to an affidavit filed Thursday, Framber Monserrat-Griman was driving at a fast pace at the time of the crash, eventually losing control and rolling the vehicle. As a result, Monserrat-Griman’s two passengers were ejected from the vehicle, killing 22-year-old Sampayo Acevedo.

According to the affidavit, the 3-month-old child and Monserrat-Griman were transported to IU Health, where officers learned the infant suffered collarbone injuries. After being stabilized, the baby was transported to Riley Children’s Hospital by helicopter for further care.

According to the affidavit, authorities on the scene saw no seatbelts utilized inside the car after the incident. An unsecured infant car seat was employed, however the baby was not strapped in it at the time of the collision.

Officers also noticed the stench of marijuana on things found inside the vehicle, according to the affidavit, which Monserrat-Griman acknowledged using.

According to the affidavit, Monserrat-Griman’s urine test at the hospital revealed the presence of cannabis. A blood sample submitted to the Indiana State Department of Toxicology for analysis is pending.

Monserrat-Griman, speaking through a translator, told detectives that the three of them were driving from Maryland to Chicago. According to the Tippecanoe County prosecutor, Monserrat-Griman, a Venezuelan native, is not lawfully in the United States but was granted temporary status while undergoing deportation and asylum proceedings.

After receiving treatment, Monserrat-Griman was initially booked into the Tippecanoe County Jail on preliminary charges of operating while intoxicated, operating a vehicle with a controlled substance, neglect of a dependent resulting in bodily injury, and causing death while operating a vehicle with a controlled substance.

However, on Thursday, prosecutors filed a single formal accusation against Monserrat-Griman for negligence of a dependent, resulting in physical damage.
