ENCINAL, Texas—Four migrants died Thursday and three other people were injured in a highway crash in Texas that authorities described as another fatal human smuggling attempt during a tragic week near the U.S.–Mexico border.

The crash happened in Encinal, a small town where a tractor-trailer carrying illegal immigrants passed through Monday before ending up in San Antonio, where authorities found more than 50 people dead or dying inside.
