Texas sheriff says it's unlikely border agents were attacked

    Rogelio Martinez, 36, was one of two US Border Patrol agents who were found injured on November 18 in a culvert near Van Horn, Texas
    Martinez died and his partner, whose name has not been released, was seriously injured
    It was initially thought that the two agents were victims of an ambush by perpetrators who used rocks to attack them
    President Donald Trump tweeted: 'We will seek out and bring to justice those responsible. We will, and must, build the Wall!'
    Now investigators say that evidence points to an accident
    A Texas sheriff who was among the first people to reach the agents said he thinks they may have been sideswiped accidentally by a tractor-trailer

Very possibly so and possibly no foul play. LEOs do get hit in this manner ever so often, giving a traffic ticket, etc.

Maybe this was posted and I missed this, this is from a few days ago.
