At a court hearing Tuesday morning, the man suspected of driving drunk and killing a Colts player and his Uber driver in a crash said, "I wasn't driving the car. I don't know why I am here." Manuel Orrega-Savala, 37, is accused of crashing into a car parked on the side of I-70 early Sunday morning, killing Indianapolis Colts linebacker Edwin Jackson, 26, and 54-year-old Jeffrey Monroe.  Indiana State Police say Orrega-Savala is in the United States illegally, and he had been previously deported in 2007 and 2009.  At the hearing Tuesday morning, Orrega-Savala, through a court interpreter, said, "I wasn't driving the car. I don't know why I am here." The judge responded by saying it would be sorted out in court.
