Van packed with 33 suspected migrants rolls, killing 1
TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) -- A van packed with suspected illegal immigrants rolled over while exiting Interstate 10 near Benson on Monday, killing one woman and injuring 30 other people. Two others caught fleeing on foot were in Border Patrol custody. The accident occurred about 10 miles west of Benson. Quentin Mehr, an Arizona Department of Public Safety spokesman, said the injured were taken to Tucson-area hospitals. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents are investigating.
Three males and three females were taken by helicopter to University Medical Center, with two listed as critical, two serious, one fair and one good, spokeswoman Katie Riley said. Another 11 patients were transported to University Physicians Healthcare Hospital, where one was assessed in critical condition and awaited transfer to UMC, a level one trauma center. One other person determined to have chicken pox was placed in isolation and the others at UPH were being treated for bone and jaw injuries, cuts and lacerations, said emergency medical director Dr. Mazda Shirazi. Four crash victims taken to St. Joseph's Hospital were listed in good condition, spokeswoman Lisa Contreras said. Tucson Medical Center spokesman Michael Letson said nine people brought in from the accident were under assessment for various injuries.
