9 Killed Fleeing Border Patrol
(A P) — A sport utility vehicle
cram m ed with suspected illegal
immigrants rolled over in an attempt
to outrun Border Patrol agents in
Arizona, killing nine people and
injuring at least 12 others, officials
said.
Five o f the injured were in critical
co ndition. S h e riff's M aj. Leon
W ilmot said.
The large SUV was carrying up
to 22 people when the driver had
tried tocircum vent a checkpoint on
the highway. Border Patrol spokes­
man Lloyd Frers said.
With Border Patrol agents in
pursuit, the driver attem pted to
make a U-turn and rolled over, Frers
said. He did not know how fast
either vehicle was traveling.
"The suburban was grossly over­
loaded. and it ’ sdifficult to handle on
that kind of (dirt) road," Frers said.
Wi I mot said the car had swerved
to avoid a spike strip put out by
Border Patrol agents.
Scores o f illegal im m igrants die
each year while crossing the M exi­
can border into Arizona, many in
car crashes. Sm ugglers often Bee
from authorities at high speeds or
overload vehicles, w hich makes
them difficult to control.
