A man reported to be in the country illegally is accused of killing a nun in a head-on car crash in northern Virginia.

Police say the suspect, 23-year-old Carlos Martinelly Montano of Bristow, Va., was drunk and speeding when he lost control of his Subaru Outback on Sunday and crashed into a Toyota Corolla carrying three nuns returning home from a week-long retreat in Richmond, MyFoxDC.com reported.

Montano survived and is charged with involuntary manslaughter and drunken driving -- his third drunken driving charge in five years -- MyFoxDC.com reported, and police said they are considering a higher-level homicide charge based on the circumstances of the crash.

Sister Denise Mosier of the Benedictine Monastery died in the crash.
