A pickup truck crash in Brooks County, Texas, has left two illegal immigrants dead and another 12 injured, according to the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS).

The accident took place at about 1:30 a.m. on Oct. 16 when a Brooks County Sheriff’s Deputy tried to stop a vehicle for a traffic violation. The driver of the white Ford F-150 pickup truck refused to stop. This resulted in a high-speed chase, which led to the truck crashing. It carried 14 illegal aliens from Guatemala and Mexico, two of whom died in the crash.
