COCHISE COUNTY, AZ (AZFamily) — Two teenagers from New Mexico are accused of transporting six undocumented immigrants after a pursuit ended in a rollover crash Friday night in southern Arizona.
The Cochise County Sheriff’s Office said deputies tried to stop an older model Suburban just before 7 p.m. as it traveled west on Interstate 10.
Instead, investigators say the driver sped away, weaving through traffic and avoiding spike strips.
Authorities said the vehicle exited onto U.S. Highway 191 and continued fleeing from deputies, with Benson and Willcox police assisting in the pursuit.
