Border Patrol arrests ten after crash
Border Patrol agents arrested 10 Mexican nationals Monday morning after they fled from a van that overturned on Interstate 8.

The Highway Patrol notified the agency after the white 1993 Chevy van overturned on I-8 just east of Buckman Springs Road around 6 a.m. and witnesses told officers they saw people running from the vehicle, a spokesman for the Border Patrol said.

Agents followed footsteps left in the dirt for about an hour until they found the ten people hiding in some bushes.

All were taken into custody. The driver of the van apparently got away.
