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. Wednesday on U.S. 281 in Encino, Texas, about 50 miles north of McAllen. Sgt. Nathan Brandley of the Texas Department of Public Safety says the van, designed to hold 15 passengers, was speeding as the driver tried to veer off the highway onto Business Route 281. He lost control of the top-heavy van, which slammed into a metal utility pole and a stop sign.Martinez said he believed all of the passengers were migrants.
The identities of the 30 in the van were being withheld until relatives can be notified, Brandley said. No information about the van, including where it was registered or who owned it, was immediately released.. Encino is a community of about 140 residents about 2 miles south of the Falfurrias Border Patrol checkpoint.

That’s sad
Yesterday a Federal Judge in El Paso blocked Texas Rangers from stopping immigrant vans in an effort to stem rising Covid 19 infection rates.
GovAbbott doing a sh!tty job taking care of Texas.
But kamala said 'Don't come.....Don't come.'
They were human beings looking for a better life because the cowards from their home lands couldn't be bothered to participate or monitor their own representatives. Mexico citizens need to stand up to their own.
These are future DNC voters. That’s sad and such a shame.
That’s what can happen when “migrants” take a road trip
惨
Lesson... we need to create a realistic and robust immigration reform... otherwise, stop covering a common tragedy. Every news producer touching this story needs to wake the fuck up.
That's horrible. 💔
