Four migrants killed in an accident after fleeing a border post in Texas

New immigration drama in the United States. Just three days after fifty people died crowded into an abandoned truck in San Antonio after crossing the border, the state of Texas itself has yet to register more deaths. This time there have been four migrants who have died in a car accident after skipping a border post. In addition, there are also three injured hospitalized.

The authorities have reported that among the fatalities there are two Mexicans and a Guatemalan, in the absence of identifying the fourth deceased person. Among those hospitalized is the driver of the vehicle, a Jeep, a US citizen and two Guatemalans.

The vehicle had left Laredo and was heading to San Antonio, according to sources from the Mexican Ministry of the Interior and the National Migration Institute (INM). The Jeep has ended up crashing into a trailer after skipping a border customs checkpoint in the Texas city of Encinal, already in the United States.

The accident comes three days after the most serious human trafficking tragedy on record in the United States, with the death of 53 migrants in an abandoned truck on the outskirts of San Antonio. A truck that had crossed the border through the Encinal pass.

For now, the police have already arrested four people for the event last Monday. Among them, the alleged driver of the truck, who according to sources in the investigation was under the effects of methamphetamine when the police found him.
