RIVIERA - A suspected illegal immigrant is dead after being run over by an 18-wheeler just north of Riviera this morning.
According to the Department of Public Safety, the man was being chased by Border Patrol around 1 a.m., when he ran across Highway 77 and was hit by a tractor trailer. The truck hit the man then ran him over.
Meanwhile, there's no word on who the man is or where he is from. Border Patrol is now trying to identify the man.
We're told the driver of the truck won't be ticketed.
An RPG would have been more efficient but hey, its a start.
Har!
It’s unfortunate to see some people taking joy in the accidental death of this unfortunate individual...
However, this was not an accidental death. It was completely brought on by the actions of the deceased.
He could have chosen to surrender and been alive to be smuggled across the border again.
Regardless to the phrase “illegal immigrants” or “illegal aliens” they are simply WETBACKS.
This happened just south of Kingsville. I live 28 miles from there.
