Texas authorities arrested a suspected human smuggler and illegal aliens who crashed into multiple vehicles during a high-speed pursuit near the southern border this week.
The harrowing incident unfolded on Christmas Eve in Laredo.
Texas Department of Public Safety (TxDPS) troopers attempted to pull over a suspicious Volkswagen Atlas on Interstate 35 but the driver fled, triggering a dangerous chase.
The Atlas subsequently crashed into several parked cars and another vehicle, injuring four people inside.
The driver and two passengers then attempted to flee on foot but were caught.
“The driver, Luis Gerardo Velazquez of Laredo (pictured wearing glasses and a gray shirt), was arrested for smuggling of persons and evading arrest,” TxDPS spokesman Lt. Chris Olivarez explained in a statement.
“The two passengers, illegal immigrants from Mexico, were charged with evading arrest on foot.”
All three suspects were booked into Webb County Jail while the injured victims were treated at a local hospital.
Last week, a human smuggler slammed an SUV into a commercial vehicle during another harrowing chase in Laredo.
Ten illegal aliens were taken into custody, and the driver, Jorge Alonso Diaz Jr., was charged with smuggling of persons, causing serious bodily injury, and evading arrest.
