A 15-year-old girl driving a car with undocumented migrants hiding in the trunk crashed while running from a Texas state trooper Thursday morning during a suspected smuggling attempt in West El Paso, authorities said.

The Texas Department of Public Safety said that several people were injured when the fleeing car collided with two other vehicles at the intersection of North Mesa Street and Osborne Drive.

The incident started about 10 a.m. when a state trooper attempted to pull over a blue Mercury Grand Marquis for an expired registration near Montoya Drive and Post Oak Court in the Upper Valley, the DPS said in a statement.

The car slowed down and three people ran into the nearby neighborhood. The trooper was able to arrest a male driver, but the Mercury was gone by the time the trooper returned to his patrol vehicle, officials said.
