Eight people have been killed in a two car collision after the driver of a car suspected of carrying smuggled immigrants fled authorities and later collided with an oncoming vehicle on a south Texas highway.

Christopher Olivarez, a spokesman with the Texas Department of Public Safety (TDPS), said in a Nov. 9 post on X, formerly known as Twitter, that the investigation is still ongoing and further details will be shared when they become available.
