TUCSON - Two suspected human smugglers bailed out of a moving dump truck Tuesday in Douglas, leaving 23 illegal immigrants inside.

Border Patrol Agent Mike Scioli says that the truck continued to roll for about 75 yards before an agent jumped in and hit the brakes.

The Tucson Citizen reports that the 23 immigrants were uninjured and voluntarily returned to Mexico.

Scioli says the two suspected smugglers, including the driver of the truck, were taken into custody.

Authorities say an agent had begun following the truck when he noticed that its registration wasn't local and the driver was acting nervous and driving erratically.

Scioli says the agent had followed the dump truck around several turns before the two suspected smugglers leapt from the cab.

Hopefully,the dump truck was confiscated and sold at public auction like the law calls for.

All trucks, vans, SUV's, buses and trailers should be banned from crossing the border from Mexico.
