An alleged pair of female human smugglers led Texas Department of Public Safety troopers on a pursuit with five migrants on board. The armed driver lost control and crashed following the lengthy pursuit.
Fox News reporter Bill Melugin tweeted a video showing a vehicle being pursued by DPS troopers. The voices, reportedly coming from five smuggled migrants, can be heard cussing as the pursuit becomes more dangerous.

The video shows the butt of a pistol wedged between the female driver’s legs as the pursuit progresses. After passing multiple police vehicles, the female driver loses control and crashes. She can later be heard screaming, “Get me out, bro.”
Melugin reported the two women drove from Austin to Del Rio, Texas, to carry out the human smuggling attempt.

Replying to @BillFOXLATexas DPS tells me they’ve seen an uptick in U.S. citizens coming to the border from other cities to participate in smuggling. Cartels advertise heavily on social media through apps like TikTok, offering quick cash to smuggle migrants. They target young people, especially in U.S.

A trooper can be seen helping the woman get out of the car. He tells her to put down the phone and the video ends.
It is not clear in the video if anyone was injured in the crash. It is also not clear where or when the pursuit took place.
