On the afternoon of August 4, local time, an overloaded truck carrying about 25 immigrants overturned on a highway in southern Texas, USA, killing at least 11 people, including the driver, and injuring more than 10 others.
Brooks County Sheriff Urbino Martinez said that the truck, which can accommodate 15 passengers, was speeding and lost control when turning and overturned.
The rapid increase in the number of immigrants crossing the border illegally has led to an increase in the number of crashes in vehicles used by illegal immigrants. Most of these immigrants have paid large sums of money to smuggle into the United States.
