    Two Migrants Die After Jump from Texas Border Area Bridge

    Two Migrants Die After Jump from Texas Border Area Bridge



    by RANDY CLARK 27 Jan 2023

    Two migrants died after a vehicle accident that occurred on a bridge in Texas Wednesday near Uvalde. The deceased migrants survived the crash but later died after jumping from the bridge. Authorities believe the migrants may have fallen after fleeing on foot to avoid arrest by pursuing law enforcement. Four other migrants survived the nearly 40-foot fall.

    The incident occurred at approximately 4:00am after authorities attempted to stop a suspicious vehicle on U.S. Highway 83 near Uvalde. The driver fled from authorities, initiating a high-speed pursuit. He reportedly lost control, overturned, and left the vehicle resting on the bridge span over the Nueces River.

    Chief Deputy Ricardo Rios of the Zavala County Sheriff’s Department told Breitbart Texas he believes the migrants may have jumped over the guard rail not knowing the exact height of the fall. In all, two migrants died and four others sustained serious injuries.

    Rios told Breitbart that survivors were flown to San Antonio hospitals for treatment. The conditions of the injured migrants are unknown. Rios did not offer comment on the status of the suspected smuggler and indicated the accident is under investigation by the Texas Department of Public Safety Highway Patrol.

    Authorities in Zavala County, located 30 miles from the Rio Grande, have seen a rise in human smuggling activities on area highways for some time, according to Rios. He says the frequent vehicle pursuits present a danger to the community.

    “We have all available resources dedicated to improving safety on our highways and we also are utilizing resources provided under the state’s Operation Lonestar. Still, the volume of human smuggling on the highways is overwhelming,” Rios added. Six human smuggling cases have been intercepted by Zavala County deputies since Tuesday.

    In neighboring Kinney County, Sheriff Brad Coe issued a plea for other law enforcement agencies to help with the continued flow of migrants through his jurisdiction. Coe sent a letter to fellow sheriffs in Texas, Oklahoma, and Arkansas asking for resources.

    The Border Patrol’s Del Rio Sector, which includes Zavala and Kinney Counties, reported the interdiction of 157 human smuggling cases in the week preceding the accident. During the same week, more than 6,000 migrants were apprehended in the sector. More than 4,200 migrants managed to evade apprehension, according to the Border Patrol.

    Call Mexico to clean up the mess and take care of their injured!

    I am sick of paying for these criminal trespassers and the massive damage they are doing to our country.

    Biden, Harris, and Mayorkas should be in prison for causing this mayhem!
