A van carrying migrants crashed on a remote South Texas highway, killing at least 10 people and leaving 20 others with serious injuries, authorities said
The van, which authorities said was carrying migrants, tipped over in Encino, Texas, as it attempted to turn off Highway 281 onto Business 281.An overloaded van carrying 29 migrants crashed Wednesday on a remote South Texas highway, killing at least 10 people, including the driver, and injuring 20 others, authorities said.
The crash happened shortly after 4 p.m. on U.S. 281 in Encino, Texas, about 50 miles north of McAllen. Sgt. Nathan Brandley of the Texas Department of Public Safety said the van, designed to hold 15 passengers, was speeding as the driver tried to veer off the highway onto Business Route 281. He said the driver lost control of the top-heavy van, which slammed into a metal utility pole and a stop sign.
The van was not being pursued, said Brooks County Sheriff Urbino Martinez. Mr. Martinez said he thought all of the passengers were migrants. Mr. Brandley said the death toll was initially announced as 11 but was later revised. He also said the 20 who survived the initial crash all have serious to critical injuries.
The identities of the 30 in the van were being withheld until relatives can be notified, Mr. Brandley said. No information about the van, including where it was registered or who owned it, was immediately released.
