DHS told Fox News the wrong-way driver in the I-91 crash that killed Ryan O'Shea was removed in 2013 and later reentered.

The Oct. 30 story is a homeland-security account of a 2013 arrest, a removal order, and a later reentry. It is not a criminal complaint from the crash. NBC Connecticut's Oct. 19 update still described a 30-year-old man from Bridgeport and did not print the name. WFSB that day printed Guillermo Carmona-Lopez, 31. Thirty and 31 are not the same age. Fox News did not report that he died, and it did not report a charge.

Fox News, in a story by Greg Wehner published Oct. 30, 2026, at 11:50 a.m. EDT, reported that Ryan O'Shea, a senior at the University of New Haven, was driving south on Interstate 91 in North Haven late Oct. 16 when a Chevrolet Silverado traveling the wrong way hit his Honda Accord head-on. Fox News, citing a Connecticut State Police accident summary, reported 31-year-old Guillermo Carmona-Lopez of Bridgeport was driving the Silverado. It reported O'Shea's car was then struck by a Jeep and, after it moved to the right shoulder, by a third vehicle. It reported O'Shea was pronounced dead at the scene, Carmona-Lopez was taken to Yale New Haven Hospital with serious life-threatening injuries, and three other people suffered minor injuries. It reported the State Police Collision Analysis and Reconstruction Squad is assisting and the investigation remains ongoing. NBC Connecticut, by Cailyn Blonstein, published Oct. 17 and updated Oct. 19 at 9:07 a.m., reported a four-vehicle crash on I-91 South in North Haven late Friday night, shortly before midnight, and that a 30-year-old man from Bridgeport was driving a Chevrolet Silverado northbound in the southbound lanes when he hit a Honda Accord head-on. NBC Connecticut reported the Accord was then hit by two additional vehicles, and that state police later identified the Accord's driver as 21-year-old Ryan O'Shea of New York, pronounced dead at the scene. It reported the Silverado driver was taken to Yale New Haven Hospital with serious life-threatening injuries, and that the other two drivers and one passenger had minor injuries. It did not print the name Guillermo Carmona-Lopez. A named 31-year-old, which Fox News printed from the accident summary, and an unnamed 30-year-old, which NBC Connecticut was still printing on Oct. 19, are not the same identification. A Jeep, which Fox News named, and two additional vehicles NBC Connecticut did not name, are not the same detail. Three people with minor injuries plus a driver with life-threatening injuries, which is Fox News's count, and two drivers plus one passenger with minor injuries plus the Silverado driver, which is NBC Connecticut's count, are the same number of injured people, told in two sentences.

WFSB, by Dylan Fearon, published Oct. 19, 2026, at 4:38 p.m. EDT and updated at 5:24 p.m., reported Ryan O'Shea, 21, was killed by a wrong-way driver on Route 91 South in North Haven just before midnight, and that state police say 31-year-old Guillermo Carmona-Lopez of Bridgeport was driving the wrong way and crashed into him head-on. WFSB reported O'Shea was then hit by two other drivers and died. It reported Carmona-Lopez was in the hospital fighting for his life, that he had not been charged, and that state police were still investigating. Fighting for his life, which WFSB printed on Oct. 19, and taken to the hospital with serious life-threatening injuries, which Fox News printed on Oct. 30 without a new condition, are not the same update. Fox News did not print a charge. WFSB's "has not been charged" is an Oct. 19 sentence. It is not a docket entry from Oct. 30. An investigation Fox News said remains ongoing is not a filed case. WFSB reported O'Shea was from Stony Point, New York, about 40 miles north of Manhattan. Fox News also reported Stony Point. NBC Connecticut reported "of New York" and did not print the town. The town and the state are not in conflict. One story names the town. The other names the state.

The title on the hockey team is not one title. NBC Connecticut reported that a post from the university's club men's ice hockey team called him a senior assistant captain. Fox News reported the university said he served as senior captain of the men's club hockey team. WFSB's lede called him a club hockey captain, and the same story later called him the assistant captain. Senior assistant captain, senior captain, and assistant captain are not the same title. Fox News reported he was studying criminal justice with a concentration in police science, interned with the New York City Police Department over the summer, hoped to join the NYPD, and hoped later to pursue a career with the Drug Enforcement Administration, citing the university. WFSB reported the NYPD internship, that he wanted to become a police officer after graduation, and that he was set to graduate in the spring. WFSB did not print police science or the Drug Enforcement Administration. NBC Connecticut did not print the major. It quoted academic adviser Lorenzo Boyd, Stewart Professor of Community Policing: "Ryan was an avid sports fan, and he was always ready to have a sports-related conversation," and "Ryan wanted to go into public service in order to help others. He was engaging in the classroom and will be missed greatly." Fox News quoted the public-service and classroom sentences and did not print the sports-fan sentence. A spring graduation, which WFSB printed, is a season. It is not a diploma.

Fox News quoted a Department of Homeland Security spokesperson on the immigration record. "In May 2013, Border Patrol arrested Guillermo Carmona-Lopez, a criminal illegal alien from Mexico, after he illegally entered the country," the spokesperson said, as Fox News printed it. "Carmona-Lopez was issued an expedited removal and was removed from the country." Fox News reported DHS said he then illegally reentered near the Rio Grande Valley and was arrested again by Border Patrol that same month. It quoted the spokesperson: "Carmona-Lopez was issued a final order of removal on May 30, 2013. He then reentered the country at an unknown time and place." It quoted a further line: "Under President Trump and Secretary Mullin, if you break the law, you will face the consequences. Criminal illegal aliens are not welcome in the U.S." Those sentences are DHS speaking to Fox News. They are not a Connecticut charging document, and NBC Connecticut and WFSB did not print them. An expedited removal in May 2013 and a final order dated May 30, 2013, are two DHS steps the spokesperson listed. A later reentry "at an unknown time and place" is the spokesperson's line. It is not a date. Fox News reported O'Shea was president of his Kappa Sigma chapter and that the fraternity said he was returning from a hockey game. WFSB reported he was fraternity president and was driving back to campus after a game. NBC Connecticut quoted general manager Devin Bertrand: "His infectious personality lit up our locker room the moment he walked in, and his love for his teammates will never be forgotten." Fox News quoted Bertrand on the infectious personality and the moment he walked in, and did not print the rest of that sentence. WFSB reported on Oct. 19 that a funeral was set for Friday. Fox News on Oct. 30 did not print a funeral. Friday, in a story published Monday, Oct. 19, is Oct. 23. That is a date WFSB attached to a plan. It is not a line in Friday's Fox News story. WFSB reported he had not been charged. Fox News, a week and a half later, still did not report a charge and did not report that the driver had died. All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
