A Texas man faces human trafficking charges following the Monday deaths of eight undocumented migrants when he allegedly crashed a vehicle they were in during a police pursuit near the U.S.-Mexico border.
Instead of stopping, Tovar allegedly fled and a chase ensued for 50 miles at speeds of over 100 mph at times. He eventually collided head-on with a Ford F-150. Eight passengers in the Dodge truck were killed and another was hospitalized. The migrants were Mexican citizens in the United States illegally, authorities said. Seven were men and one was a woman. The driver of the Ford pickup truck and a child passenger were hospitalized and were in stable condition. Tovar allegedly fled the crash site on foot and was later arrested.More Related News
