Seven patients were taken to El Centro Regional Medical Center and two were taken to Pioneers Memorial Hospital in Brawley. One of the patients taken to El Centro has died, officials said.

FOX 11 has a crew on the way.



27 people in a Ford Explorer, doesn't even seem possible. They must have been stacked on top of each other like wood. What a shame. Such a rotten way to die.

How do you even fit 27 people in a Ford Explorer anyways? They must've been stacked together like a 17th century trans-Atlantic slave ship or something.

Dunno. But the design team knows something we don’t

The lack of a winner rating here hurts my soul.

I hope there weren't kids in there. They shouldn't have to suffer because their parents want to border hop.

Maybe this is just a 4D ad for Ford?

*Slaps hood* This baby can hold so many soon-to-be-dead Mexicans!

Expeditions are bigger than Explorers.

Even in an Expedition, that many people meant the vehicle was next to impossible to steer and brake properly.

It's Arizona, I've seen it happen with my own eyes. One was a load of drugs in an old Bronco with Border Patrol hot on his ass. Careened through a gas station near the border then rolled it in the desert strewing drugs packages everywhere. Young Mexican, got out and ran off into the desert. Different time, an overloaded van on I-10 just north of Tucson. Starts wobbling back and forth (vastly overloaded) then runs off into the desert and rolls repeatedly with bodies flying out of it like ragdolls. Don't know how many were actually in the van, but it was a pretty gruesome scene.

You can't beat the laws of physics, but damn do they try.

We have a re-enactment of that fatal crash in Biden's America.

They didn't outline it in the story, but I'm curious of the 13 survivors all went to the hospital in the same ambulance.

You're assuming that Mexicans with a third grade Mexico-quality "education" know jack shit about the laws of physics. Since they literally don't, they use Mexico logic instead, which dictates that you can load a crossover SUV with 30 people and still outrun the Border Patrol without rolling the fucker and scattering bodies all over the desert. These are the people who will stuff 60 people in a two bedroom house built in 1922 to hold a nuclear family of four. There have been cases in Phoenix where cops have found old abandoned housing bubble-era houses with migrants stuffed in them so tight they literally couldn't move, in order to wheedle more cash out of their relatives in Mexico. After they clear the houses out the walls are caked in filth. The whole shitshow is simply beyond the capacity of this cis-het-white-oppressor-trash average guy to wrap my brain around. I must be racist.

This is an older model expedition it looks like, which is interesting because I heard complaints about available interior space for those when compared to minivans of the era, so how they shoved 27 people in one boggles my mind a bit.

Have you ever had an authentic burrito? They know how to pack in the beans.

Mexicans operate by Mexican Physics, which defies even Marine Physics for its ability to cram people into tiny spaces.

It’s simple really, that expedition is just the Mexican TARDIS.

You couldn't half fit that many legal residents in an Excursion comfortably, and they're massive.

THIS ISN'T INDIA.
