U.S. Border Patrol agents rescued two injured women, including one who was pregnant, stranded in the Otay Mountain Wilderness during a cold front, the agency announced on April 1.
The rescue began shortly after midnight on March 28 when agents from the Chula Vista Station responded to a distress call relayed by Mexican authorities. The two women, both Mexican nationals who had crossed the border illegally, were found in a remote canyon about six miles east of the Otay Mesa Port of Entry. Both reported ankle injuries and neither had food or water.
