Eight people have been killed after a human smuggler driving a vehicle packed with illegal migrants hit an oncoming SUV while attempting to evade police in Texas, authorities say.
Texas Department of Public Safety officials say a smuggler was fleeing from the Zavala County Sheriff’s Office in Batesville when he tried to pass an 18-wheeler in a no-passing zone. He went into oncoming traffic and collided with the SUV occupied by two Americans from Georgia.
The two Americans in the SUV were killed. The apparent human smuggler was also killed along with five illegal migrants who were in his vehicle. There were no survivors.
