California authorities say 13 people were killed in a major wreck near San Diego on Tuesday and more than a dozen are in the hospital with serious injuries.
The crash involved a tractor-trailer and a sport-utility vehicle on Highway 115, not far from the U.S.-Mexico border and about 100 miles east of downtown San Diego and now has been added to the local car accident reports in California.
Authorities later said the SUV was carrying more than two dozen people, many of whom were Mexican migrants. There was no rear seat in the vehicle, which left most passengers unrestrained during the crash.
The California Highway Patrol said the SUV was traveling south when it attempted to cross the highway and veered into the path of the semi-truck.
Authorities said all but one of the dead were pronounced at the scene. The pedestrians who were involved hired a top pedestrian accident attorney to file a claim for their injuries.
The Homeland Security Department has begun a human smuggling investigation. The Mexican consulate said at least 10 Mexican nationals were among those killed in the crash.

So far, in every article i’ve seen about this crash, NO ONE SAID WHO caused it.. Wonder why?
If Tiger Woods wasn’t now in the hospital I’d thnk his career had degenerated into illgal Alien smuggling. Not to worry,,,the fake news media will cover this one up for the same political correct reasons, like they have covered up Wood’s self-destructive behavior which reveals what happens when reality is denied with a life obsession with sports or even politics that removes the normalcy of a sane approach to life, which like Bobby Fisher can unhinge your ability to cope and fit in and creates inner destructive Demons to confront,,,,like Pelosi and Schumer are obsessed with power and politics that creates a Self-destructive insanity that soon morphs into a Countrywide insanity if not stopped in its tracks in youth. Keep your kids as far away from them as you can, particularly when it comes to their politics.
I am surprised its NOT ALREADY BEEN silenced..
“Authorities later said the SUV was carrying more than two dozen people, many of whom were Mexican migrants. There was no rear seat in the vehicle, which left most passengers unrestrained during the crash”. Since I am a Conservative and not politically correct, the people injured or killed were not “migrants”, they are “illegal aliens”. Had these “illegal aliens” not been in our Country, this accident would not have happened. How is that for “my investigation” into the incident? How is that for a dose of reality?
Anybody realize that there is NO connection to Biden’s new immigration (AKA illegal invaders) policy being made by the ministry of propaganda? Had this happened while Trump was in office, the spin would surely be linking a “xenophobic” and racist agenda that caused this tragedy.
Supremacist truck driver kills hundreds in the name of Pres Trump. You mean like this?
Fake news.
OF course the commucrat propaganda dept, won’t DARE utter a word, linking this to biden…
27 people in what amounts to a Suburban means they were squished in there like sardines. This is just another example of how illegal immigration allows for the exploitation of these people. If the left REALLY cared about the actual people and not just making political hay they would realize that illegal immigration and entry creates an environment of exploitation that hurts human beings.
