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 own a Expedition like this one. I can’t imagine how to stuff 27 people in it without stacking them like logs or some were kids. Like mom sits on dads lap and the kid sits on moms lap seated 4 across maybe.
Rough trip.

He, like 0bama is bringing in A.R.M.I..E.S. Paying them to ‘FIGHT’ if needed....FREE STUFF!
Remember the montage video ofdemocRATS saying the word ‘fight’, and they say President Trump was the violence instigator? B*******!

A certain ‘medical center’ told me if I didn’t pay a remaining ‘$7.40 (that I have proven I had paid with copies of cashed checks) that we would never be treated there again.

What would you call that?
Do they do illegals that way?

“Stereotypical illegal alien jokes write themselves.”

Are they stereotypical if they are true?

How do stereotypes become established in the first place?

Are we sure they weren’t Californians trying to escape to (relative) wealth and freedom in Mexico?

Left by activists at the scene:

Because illegally entering a country in an SUV packed with 27 people must be the fault of the United States and its policies...

The one in question seems to be a short wheelbase version of some age.

I once packed 9 into a VW Scirocco. We only drove a half mile or so. Shifting was interesting
