| A vehicle carrying undocumented immigrants flipped Sunday, ejecting 12 people and killing at least five in south Texas, Dimmit County Sheriff Marion Boyd said. Four people were killed at the scene and a fifth person died at a hospital in San Antonio, the sheriff said.
Border Patrol agents began chasing the vehicle around noon before a Dimmit County sheriff's deputy took over the chase, just west of Big Wells, Boyd said. The vehicle was traveling around 100 mph, the sheriff said. "The vehicle ran off the road and caught gravel and then tried to recorrect and then caused the vehicle to turn over several times," he said. He said there were 14 people in the vehicle. Authorities believe the driver and one passenger are U.S. citizens and the 12 other passengers were undocumented immigrants, Boyd said. The sheriff said he didn't know where the immigrants were from.
