A one vehicle roll-over accident during the early hours of the morning on Sunday, July 26, 2020, on Ranch to Market Road 674 about 16 miles north of Bracketville, Kinney County, Texas resulted in the tragic deaths of two undocumented aliens while being transported by an unidentified person who attempted to evade a United States Border Patrol immigration stop by fleeing at high speeds in a chase pursuit situation, according to sources.
The two undocumented aliens died at the scene of the accident in Kinney County due to the severe injuries sustained. The Ranch to Market Road 674 between Kinney County and Edwards County is known as a major undocumented alien smuggling route to avoid inspection at the United States Border Patrol Checkpoint on U.S. Highway 90 in Uvalde County, Texas.
The driver of the vehicle transporting the two undocumented aliens was able to flee on foot the scene of the accident into the rugged brush country in Kinney County, causing a massive manhunt by multiple law enforcement agencies for the driver.
As of press time, it is unknown if the driver of the vehicle was found and detained by the law enforcement agencies. If found and detained, the driver may be charged with Conspiracy to Transport Undocumented Aliens, failure to stop, evading law enforcement, driving recklessly and at excessive speeds, and causing the death of the two undocumented aliens.
The tragic accident is under investigation by the Texas Department of Public Safety, the Kinney County Sheriff’s Department, and the United States Border Patrol.
