by RANDY CLARK 9 Jul 2021
In recent weeks, a spate of accidents involving human smugglers has plagued the city streets of Laredo, Texas, endangering the public, and in one case, costing the lives of migrants.
On Wednesday, Border Patrol agents were summoned to assist Texas Highway Patrol troopers with a vehicle pursuit south of downtown. Ultimately, the pursued vehicle collided with another, resulting in extensive damages.
Border Patrol reports that multiple injuries were suffered and several passengers were taken to hospitals. Five migrants who had recently entered the United States illegally were arrested at the scene. The accident and the smuggling case remain under investigation.
