A collision between a semitruck and an SUV carrying more than two dozen people near the U.S.-Mexico border Tuesday morning has left 15 dead and several others injured, officials said.
Twenty-seven people were in the SUV when it struck a tractor-trailer hauling gravel, said Judy Cruz, the El Centro Regional Medical Center’s emergency department director.
Fourteen people died at the scene. One more died at El Centro Regional Medical Center, where six others are being treated, Cruz said. At least five more have been flown from the scene to other treatment centers, she said.
“The patients are, of course, going through a little bit of a difficult time,” said Adolphe Edward, chief executive of El Centro Regional Medical Center. “This was a major accident, and we are taking care of them in the emergency room department.”

I wonder what that is all about? And how many more similarly loaded SUV are near the U.S.-Mexico border. What biden is doing is treason.

Illegals. For God’s sake! This is how much these peoples governments give a rip about them. And these parasites don’t do a damn thing to change the situation.
Everybody wants to come here. They hate our guts but God Almighty doesn’t the whole world want to come here.

I literally just heard this report on the radio moments before seeing this post.
That was my thought exactly and, in spite of the glaring lack of detail in the Bloomberg radio report on my local am station, I immediately thought of Biden/Harris policies.

That’s tragic. I can’t imagine even trying to drive with that many people in a car. The disturbances from passengers, the weight, weight distribution, handling and braking all impairments to safe driving. And lack of seatbelts.

From a news article about the accident I read on a site called "The Drive"...
"It's not immediately clear why there was such a large number of individuals being transported in the vehicle at the same time."
Seriously?
