A U.S. Customs and Border Patrol agent inspecting a car Monday at a border crossing from Mexico spotted something unexpected behind the glove compartment — a human hand, KSWB reported.

Agents at aCalexico crossing in California found a 17-year-old boy stuffed in the dashboard, with his legs draped over the car’s steering column, according to the station.

The 28-year-old driver and his 21-year-old passenger, both U.S. citizens, face human smuggling charges, U.S. Customs and Border Patrol agents wrote in a release.

The agency seized the 2001 Ford Taurus, according to the release. The incident took place at 8:30 a.m.
