Who was Cameron Lyon? Newly engaged Ohio teacher killed by drunk driver who was illegally in US; Ramaswamy speaks out
A 23-year-old Ohio man, Cameron Lyon, was killed in a crash in Fairfield County while he was driving, after being struck by an illegal immigrant.
Cameron Lyon, a newly engaged Ohio teacher, was killed in a crash on September 6 when he was struck by an illegal immigrant driver who had crossed the median. The driver, Alvaro Uriber-Gonzalez, 33, was deported in 2020 and was not legally allowed to be in the United States. Lyon and his fiancée, Abrielle Kerns, were in the car when the incident occurred.
Kerns survived but was seriously injured. Uriber-Gonzalez was charged with aggravated vehicular homicide, driving under the influence of alcohol, and operating a motor vehicle without a license. He is currently in jail, with an ICE detainer on file. Lyon was an Ohio teacher who had recently started teaching 5th and 6th grade students at Crestline Exempted Village Schools.
He was an Eagle Scout, threw shot put and discus at Otterbein University, and played violin in the university's orchestra. He was described as funny, loving, and someone who enjoyed having a good time. His fiancée shared a heartfelt proposal photo on Facebook, writing about her love for him and their future together. Lyon's family, school district, and former school all paid tribute to his life and impact.
Vivek Ramaswamy, Senator Bernie Moreno, and Senator Jon Husted among others expressed outrage over the tragedy and called for action against illegal immigration.
