WATCH: SUV Catches Fire as 14-Year-Old Illegal Caught Smuggling Mexicans in Texas
A vehicle driven by a 14-year-old illegal alien caught fire during a human smuggling pursuit in Texas this week, authorities say.
On Tuesday, a Texas Department of Public Safety (TxDPS) trooper began pursuing an SUV after the driver blew a red light and struck a curb in Webb County.
Despite damage to the vehicle’s front passenger tire, a high-speed chase unfolded on Interstate 35 and continued onto a service road where a trooper performed a PIT maneuver and forced the vehicle to stop.
Troopers pursued at least one suspect into the brush as a car fire broke out and other passengers began climbing out of the SUV.
The driver was identified as a 14-year-old Mexican national who was illegally present in the U.S.
He was arrested and charged with smuggling of persons and evading arrest.
Seven more illegal aliens in the vehicle were all determined to be citizens of Mexico and turned over to Border Patrol.
