At least 13 people were killed and about a dozen others were taken to hospitals after a gravel truck slammed into an overloaded SUV just north of the U.S.-Mexico border, authorities said.

The crash occurred about 6:15 a.m. PT at State Route 115 and Norrish Road in Imperial County, about 15 miles from the border, the highway patrol said.

The semitruck full of gravel hit a maroon Ford Expedition filled with 25 passengers, the highway patrol said.

The dead included some Mexican citizens ages 20 to 55, authorities said; the injured were 16 to 55.

Coyotes report the value of that SUV load at $250 thousand dollars.
It’s usually about ten thousand per person for Coyotes to get you over the border and transport you to a nearby Democrat Voter registration center, while there you can also sign up for food stamps, unemployment, medical care, and stimulus checks. Thank you Senor Joe. And Senorita Nancy.

It’s starting again...the coyotes smuggling people to their deaths.

Thanks a lot, Slow Joe.

You are not doing these poor folks any favors.

They pay over 8 grand per person to the coyote to get into America, and the drug cartels get rich.

You might be correct.

Horrific, nonetheless.

Biden administration fully to blame. Are they taking any responsibility at all?

Sounds like they’re switching to the Biden version.
No mention that the SUV ran a stop sign and pulled out in front of the truck.

25 people, apparently all adults or near adults, in an Expedition.

And I thought the jeepneys in R.P. (Philippines) were crowded.

Good question and so far no answers from our media.

HOLTVILLE, Calif. (AP) — Thirteen people killed in one of the deadliest border crashes on record were among 44 people who entered the U.S. through a hole cut into Southern California’s border fence with Mexico, the Border Patrol said Wednesday.

Gregory Bovino, the agency’s El Centro sector chief, told The Associated Press that surveillance video showed a Ford Expedition and Chevrolet Suburban drive through the opening early Tuesday. It’s believed they were part of a migrant smuggling operation.

The Suburban carried 19 people, and it caught fire after entering the U.S. All escaped the vehicle and were taken into custody by Border Patrol agents.

The Expedition crammed with 25 people continued on, and a tractor-trailer struck it a short time later. Ten of the 13 killed have been identified as Mexican citizens. The rest of those in the SUV and the truck driver survived.
