Thread: TWO KILLED AFTER VAN ATTEMPTS TO CRASH THROUGH US - MEXICO BORDER

Two killed after van attempts to crash through U.S.-Mexico border crossing

September 18, 2017

Two people were killed after a series of events that started when a van raced out of Mexico heading the wrong way up the freeway into San Ysidro early Sunday.

Seven others were arrested after the apparent attempt to illegally cross the U.S.-Mexico border.

The van was carrying nine people when it sped out of Mexico, going the wrong way up Interstate 15 about 1:45 a.m., Border Patrol Agent Tekae Michael said.

The van stopped on the shoulder about a mile up the freeway, and the nine occupants spilled out, Michael said.

The Border Patrol did not initially pursue the van, but tried to make contact with the occupants after its agents were notified of the incident by Port of Entry officials.

About 2:05 a.m., two of the passengers dashed into the lanes of southbound I-5 and were struck by a Chevrolet Trailblazer going about 65 mph in the slow lane.

The driver tried but could not avoid the two people in the road. She pulled over and called 911 after they were struck. She also stayed at the crash site, near Via de San Ysidro.

The two pedestrians died at the scene. The driver was questioned and released, a CHP official said.

According to the Medical Examiner’s office, one of the victims was a woman, the other was a man. Both are believed to have been in their 20s. Neither has been identified.

Border Patrol agents caught and arrested the seven others believed to have been in the van. Michael did not have further information on the two people killed or seven detainees, including their ages, genders, or countries of origin.

A portion of the freeway was closed for a short time after the crash, but was reopened by 3 a.m., Michael said.

Oh my God. I just don't understand how anyone can feel sorry for illegal aliens. It's just Wack-O-Doodle. So tragic for the two people killed and their families. It's insanity what's going on in our country. President Trump and this Republican Congress have to stop it, turn it around, end this travesty and remove this scourge. Very simple. This issue is not negotiable, it has to be solved, the problem ended and done so in a manner so never raises its ugly destructive head again in the United States.

Now the driver of that Chevy Trailblazer who ran over those DIRTBAGS has to live with this the rest of their lives.

THEY ARE ALL DIRTBAGS...GET THEM OFF OUR SOIL.

This may sound cold, I am so fed up with the illegal immigration and have absolutely
no sympathy for them.

They had no concern for anybody else's safety while recklessly driving on our roads, jumping out of vehicle and running across a dark, 6 lane freeway at 1:30 am..... so they got slammed by a car and who's fault is that?
