U.S. Border Patrol agents tried to pull over two suspected load vehicles as they traveled west on Interstate 8.

Both vehicles sped up, reaching 100 miles per hour, according to El Cajon Police.

Then they split up, one exiting at the Greenfield off-ramp and the other taking off into El Cajon residential streets, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) says.

The second vehicle, a Chevy pickup truck, maneuvered through streets and clipped at least one parked car, according to El Cajon Police.

That pursuit ended when the suspect slammed into a yard near Lindsay Street and Joey Avenue. The crash also involved a Border Patrol truck.

There, the driver and 15 immigrants suspected of being in the country illegally were arrested.

As for the first vehicle, agents stopped it near a Jack in the Box, where they arrested another 16 immigrants and the driver.

Four people were taken to the hosital for a precautionary evaluation, according to the CPB.
