Your description of the events is unclear. Why would your friend be in jail if he wasn't driving?

You can contact my office via email if you wish to discuss this further.

This is a very serious matter and can result in a significant amount of prison time (depending on the evidence the prosecutor might try to bring murder charges which carry a sentence of up to 25 years to life in prison)in addition to the possible immigration consequences. Your friend needs to get a criminal defense attorney right away. I am unable to give you additional information without more details.
