Several undocumented immigrants, most injured, fled the scene of a rollover accident Thursday on Interstate 10 but were later captured.
Authorities plan to turn the group over to Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
At least 11 Guatemalan immigrants were ridding in a seven-passenger Toyota minivan when a tire blew out about noon near Arizona 85 in the Southwest Valley, according to the Arizona Department of Public Safety.
The driver reportedly lost control and drove into the median, causing the vehicle to roll at least once. Several occupants were ejected, DPS reported.
The immigrants were transported to Valley hospitals with various injuries.
