Wild Video Shows Texas Authorities Chasing Smuggler Who was Driving a Big Rig
WEBB COUNTY, Tx --
The Texas Department of Public Safety say a foreign suspect smuggling illegal aliens into the United States in a stolen big rig truck tractor crashed into an overpass before bailing out and escaping back to Mexico.
The incident unfolded on Tuesday in Webb County near the southern border.
Big Rig Crashes into Overpass
Authorities say several illegal aliens ran out of the stolen big right after crashing into the overpass bridge in Texas. Officials took 3 into custody. Texas DPS troopers say this all started when they attempted to pull over a suspicious truck on a busy highway when the driver began making evasive maneuvers. The suspect exited the highway and led troopers on a high-speed chase on surface streets and into a residential neighborhood. “Multiple illegal immigrants, including the smuggler, bailed out. The smuggler avoided apprehension by making it back to Mexico,” TxDPS spokesman Lt. Chris Olivarez explained in a statement.
TxDPS released footage of the dangerous pursuit over the weekend. Troopers apprehended three illegal aliens from Mexico and turned them over to Border Patrol. They discovered the truck had been reported stolen out of Laredo.
