An overloaded van carrying about 25 passengers crashed on a remote south Texas highway, killing at least 11 people and injuring more than a dozen others. Sheriff Urbino Martinez says he believes most of the passengers were migrants.
The crash happened shortly after 4 p.m. Wednesday on U.S. 281 in Encino, Texas, about 50 miles north of McAllen. Brooks County Sheriff Urbino Martinez says the van, designed to hold 15 passengers, was top-heavy and tipped over when the driver lost control on a curve.
Martinez said he believed most of the passengers were migrants. Sgt. Nathan Brandley of the Texas Department of Public Safety put the immediate death toll at 11 with more than a dozen others injured. Encino is a community of about 140 residents about 2 miles south of the Falfurrias Border Patrol checkpoint.
