Weekend toll: 6 die trying to enter illegally
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Six people died trying to enter Arizona illegally in the deadliest weekend for illegal immigrants this year, authorities said.
Three deaths occurred when a stolen vehicle rolled over in Eloy on Saturday after a pursuit by Border Patrol and state Department of Public Safety officers, said Border Patrol spokesman Jim Hawkins.
The Border Patrol found more dead when a Customs and Border Protection helicopter with a search-and-rescue agent aboard spotted a campfire near Cowlick on the Tohono O'odham Nation on Saturday night, Hawkins said.
Five illegal immigrants had run out of water and started the fire to signal for help. Agents reached the group and found two men dead.
A Border Patrol agent found a sixth body in Gardner Canyon in Sonoita on Sunday, Hawkins said.
The deaths pushed the number of known illegal immigrant deaths in the Border Patrol's Tucson sector to 95 since the fiscal year started Oct. 1.
