Migrant dies after jump out of ambulance

An illegal immigrant leaped to his death while trying to escape from an ambulance heading down Route 86 on the Tohono O'odham Nation Saturday.
The man appeared to have suffered major head injuries, a Border Patrol agent at the scene reported.
The man leaped shortly after 3 p.m., Border Patrol spokesman Andy Adame said.
The Border Patrol first apprehended the man near Ajo at around 8 a.m. Saturday. At about 3 p.m., he began to complain of stomach pains. Border Patrol agents called an ambulance and medics determined they should take the man to the hospital in Sells for treatment.
On the way to Sells at milepost 66, the man tried to escape and jumped out of the ambulance. He appeared to have died upon impact.
The Tohono O'odham Police Department is investigating the case, Adame said.
The man was the 39th migrant known to have died along the border this fiscal year, which began Oct. 1, according to statistics from the Border Patrol's Tucson sector."This country has lost control of its borders. And no country can sustain that kind of position." .... Ronald Reagan
