A human smuggling investigation has been launched by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement following a deadly car accident near the U.S.-Mexico border that left 13 people dead. Authorities said that 25 people were crammed into a Ford Expedition, which was t-boned by a semi-truck carrying gravel.
Twelve people were pronounced dead at the scene, and one person died in the hospital. Eight people suffered injuries in the crash and were transported to local hospitals for treatment.
Ten of the victims, including the driver of the SUV, were Mexican nationals. The deceased were between the ages of 15 and 53. Officials have not released any information about the immigration status of the victims.

A day after the fatal crash which left 15 people dead, new information is being gathered and authorities have determined that the SUV carrying 25 people entered the United States through a 10ft hole in the border fence.
“We pray for the accident victims and their families during this difficult time,” said border patrol agent George Bovino in what appears to be a placement of blame onto the human smugglers.
“Human smugglers have proven time and again they have little regard for human life,” he continued. “Those who may be contemplating crossing the border illegally should pause to think of the dangers that all too often end in tragedy; tragedies our Border Patrol Agents and first responders are unfortunately very familiar with.”
