Dealing With Illegal Immigrants

A police chase lead to a fatal car accident in Edna, Texas last week. The driver of the SUV was a U.S. citizen who was believed to be a member of a smuggling organization. Officials say the vehicle actually contained about 13 people - all of nationalities from Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, and Zamarripa. The police chase began last Thursday after an officer tried to pull the SUV over for a traffic violation, and as the car took an exit to the highway, the driver overcorrected and the vehicle flipped multiple times. The car had been modified to fit multiple people, so it wasn't as safe as it had originally been made to be. Four people died on site and two died in the hospital, while the rest were taken under custody of border control. Police Chief Clinton Wooldridge explained that the area had "a lot of experience" in dealing with vehicles transporting illegal immigrants as well as drugs - that it was common.
