Big Rig Packed With Illegals Catches Fire During Pursuit in Texas
A tractor-trailer carrying dozens of illegal aliens erupted in flames during a human smuggling pursuit near the southern border, authorities say.
The harrowing incident unfolded on Thursday night in Hidalgo County, Texas.
The driver of the big rig fled from a Border Patrol checkpoint in Falfurrias, sparking a high-speed pursuit on U.S. 281, local media reports.
After the vehicle passed over a spike strip laid by Texas Department of Public Safety (TxDPS) troopers, a fire broke out in the trailer for reasons that remain unclear.
A total of 39 illegal aliens inside managed to safely exit the semi, sources informed NewsNation’s Ali Bradley.
