TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) - A van packed with suspected illegal immigrants has rolled over while exiting Interstate 10 near Benson, killing one woman and injuring 29 others.

Two others caught fleeing on foot are in Border Patrol custody.

The accident occurred early Monday about 10 miles west of Benson.

Arizona Department of Public Safety spokesman Quentin Mehr says the injured have been taken to Tucson-area hospitals.

A University Medical Center spokeswoman says at least three males and three females have been brought in by helicopter, with conditions ranging from critical to fair.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents are investigating.
