7 dead, 3 seriously hurt as car fleeing Border Patrol agents crashes in downtown El Paso

EL PASO, Texas -- Seven people were killed and three others seriously injured after a vehicle trying to escape Border Patrol crashed into a semi-trailer parked outside a building early Thursday morning in downtown El Paso, authorities said.
The crash, believed to be one of the deadliest in El Paso history, happened at the intersection of Paisano Street and San Antonio Avenue about 2:15 a.m.
El Paso police Sgt. Robert Gomez confirmed there were a total of ten people in the four-door sedan-style compact car at the time it crashed into the semi-trailer, which was being used for storage and was anchored on concrete blocks.
The three survivors were hospitalized in serious but stable condition, according to police and fire officials.
No identities, ages or citizenship statuses were immediately available from authorities for any of those in the car. An investigator told ABC-7 that it was taking time to identify all the bodies and notify relatives - a process that wasn't expected to be completed until sometime Friday.
The crash happened after "U.S. Border Patrol agents assigned to the Santa Teresa and El Paso Stations attempted to stop the vehicle. The vehicle fled and was subsequently involved in a motor vehicle accident with multiple fatalities," said a statement from Border Patrol.
Gomez indicated that the agents were trying to stop the car for a failure to yield violation, and he noted that stretch of Paisano Street is no stranger to traffic crashes.
"We do know that there are a lot of crashes here, as that curb is very sharp right after downhill from an overpass. A lot of people don't navigate that curb correctly — it is usually do to speed," he explained.
One similar crash occurred back in January, when police said a drunk driver carrying Ecuadorian nationals crashed his van into a pole at the same corner. One person was killed and three others hurt in that crash, which authorities said was a also the result of the driver trying to avoid Border Patrol during a chase.
Police had the area closed off throughout Thursday morning as they worked to investigate this latest crash and clear the scene of wreckage. That stretch of Paisano was finally reopened to motorists during the noon-hour.
6 dead,3 injured in one vehicle? Illegals running from the Border Patrol??
Either that or a clown car got lost.
Most likely. But nitwit and village idiot Steve thinks it was circus clowns. LMAO.
I’m so happy I still live in your head rent free. I don’t know where to get Russian currency.
I’m so happy to live rent free in yours too moron. Steve the LINO. Still brainwashed about Russia and Russian collusion? It was all a farce dolt. BTW – I ran off a Soviet (SMLM) dolt that probably looked like you from our SAM missile site in Germany back during the cold war. lmao.
BTW – Stand at attention when you address me moron. Obviously I totally outranked you in the military. At ease Private Steve. lmao.
Fero2A, you’ve never outranked anyone. It’s evident fron your posts on this blog. You certainly don’t outrank anyone now
Updated to 7 dead now. Hopefully one is the coyote.
Don’t Paisano Street and San Antonio Avenue run parallel?
Paisano curves North there.
Go back home Alberto. You don’t live in the Segundo Barrio or in an adobe house in the lower valley. You live in a section 8 apartment on Vista Del Sol. GO HOME ANDALE!
Paisano and San Antonio are not in Segundo Barrio.
I am so happy and content not to be REPUBLICAN. You all are the most vile and vicious people on earth. I really, really dislike your politics. Furthermore, I don’t care what or how you respond: all of you are a bunch of fruitcakes and nuts, very, very bigly hateful.
And you are a mental case, Alberta. Go back to your section 8 apartment at Ridgemar, loser.
Go back to Arizona where you can be adulated. You are despicable.
What makes you think I am from Arizona, moron?
Gee madmike, you hurt her tilted mentally challenged feelings. Now pumpkin will never leave El Paso. We were so close to getting rid of the nazi.
Damn Cara let me holla holla
Hello Alberto. You live in a section 8 apartment in El Paso not Austin. Another pipe dream of yours? lmao. Alberto’s schizo personalities talking to themselves. How nutty is that.
bigly hateful? Really dear? Yes, you are definitely a genius.
You don’t qualify to be a Republican pendeja.
You don’t qualify to be a roach, much less a human being.
Of course caca cara is the head roach. She should know.
coco nut, you are the fumes that are left after the roach is squashed. Not even a complete roach. Just the fumes you darn little coco-nut. Bless your little heart.
Cara the nasty libtard women aka Alberto the transgender. Happy LGBTQ!
Seven less Biden voters.
You are vile and nasty. I hope to God that nothing bad ever happens to you, you would not be able to handle it. You have the mannerisms and thought process of a something close to a vacant brain.
Your tranny coming out today Alberto/Alberta?
Just keep on going…you are in dire need of mental health help. Calling me a tranny does not rile me up. As usual, you are after all a republican, you have serious hang-ups of your own doing. Trannys have more nobility than you could ever hope for.
Madmike please be kind to caca cara. She blew her nose and all the mucous that came out were here drugged up brains. Or what was left of them.
Madmike,caca cara is right. You are insulting the tranny. Stop it.
No one is talking to you coco-nut. Go back to sniffing white flesh.
Alberto spawned a nasty libtard woman. His transgender nasty day.
You are a coward. Nothing further needs to be said.
caca care, and you are still here posting. Glutton for punishment I see. What no blm protest going on today? The central library is holding a first grade reading lesson today. Bus is free for you since you are mentally disabled.
It’s the nasty woman. Callate pendeja.
Blah blah blah coco-nut – no substance to your statements. Just more of your coco-nut rhetoric.
Madmike is the El Paso PD thug bitch.
Not EPPD, bitch!
oh im sure they can still vote
Indeed! A lot of dead people vote demokkkrat as well as illegals.
Democraps like to vote early and often. They love cheat by mail.
Don’t know all the details yet but it might just be another one of the needless tragedies caused by our failed immigration policies or they could have been criminals trying to escape justice in their home countries. Its very sad either way.
“or they could have been criminals trying to escape justice in their home countries”
So mark wants these criminals trying to escape justice to come here? And its our failed immigration policies? Really?
markturner the idiot simply spouts off Democrat talking points. But I bet he doesn’t support open borders like the rest of the libtards.
mark doesn’t know what day it is just like biden. He adores the deficient woman basher for his prez.
He is actually a closet Trump supporter with fake TDS and a wannabe Republican. He wants to be a hillbilly. Hee haw!
This is such a sad story. This could have been preventable. R.I.P. May God bless your souls and may God protect your family.
I guess these illegals didn’t want to be part of the 95% that are immediately deported back to where they came from. Like alberto muerto’s hole in the canal.
Nadodave the thug in uniform. El Paso’s Lousiest.
Nado/madmike/Fero/K1DPR/ and all the rest of their think alikes will get their turn one day and I can’t say I’ll be sad. You have no idea what these illegals are trying to escape. You bitch for a tax dollar when that’s exactly how you are fed. Rejoicing in time of tragedy is the lowest form of a human. Effin aholes! Retired pigs.
At least we are retired. You never has any career, you unemployed turd with eyes.
The police hater is so jealous. lmao.
It’s no surprise they are all MAGA Trumpturds. Self-righteous pricks!
FU2 pendeja.
Another tranny personality, Alberto?
Like 99.9% of orange buffoon supporters, they are mostly mis-informed because they never watch or listen to the news.
FU man. Orange buffoon. Orange buffoon. Orange buffoon. Just stop. He is the best President we’ve had in a generation. Get over it. It’s the exact opposite of what you say. Trump supporters are VERY informed. We do our research. We know what we are talking about. We have to be. We are the victims of so much harrasment and hatred that we have to be informed and accurate. Our live are at stake otherwise. We aren’t sheep that just follow propaganda like leftist liberals like you. You must own a really good hanky because you drooll all over yourself listening to the MSM and Pelosi and Shumer and company. We don’t take our President for his word. We do research and confirm what is said. It’s not a coincidence that he’s right 95% of the time. He loves this country and what it stands for more than any President in decades.
Original Maggot
Obviously you are an orange buffoon supporter! Surprise surpise.
Please make a counter argument. All you liberals do repeat MSM, liberal talking points. Please make a legitimate poin.
Shut up Maggot. You don’t impress me. Your long boring rhetoric is a regurgitation of last year’s news. Come up with some new cliches, you are tiresome.
Best president?. Lol. For pedophiles and cheaters. Married an illegal. Brought her family over. Likes to grab your mom by her nasty twat. DONT EVALUATE PEOPLE FOR WHAT THEY SAY. EVALUATE HOW THEIR ACTIONS. He’s not a president. He’s a stupid ass scammer who doesn’t pay his bills and likes his daughter.
You must be talking about sleepy Joe Biden. He loves smelling little girl’s hair. How sick is that? Go grab Cara’s nasty twat moron. She is in your schizo head so easy peasy.
The original maga is a low IQ trailer resident. Period. GO URNDHART!!!!! (Misspelled on purpose lol). That’s as far as the IQ goes.
The man is an idiot and a buffoon.
The idiot hasn’t been right about anything yet!
Hey markturner aka Alberto but obviously you watch too much leftist ABC, CBS, MSNBC and CNN. All propaganda and fake news.
Assimilate now or long days ahead.
Up psycho ranting late as usual? Insomnia much? Alberto doesn’t even know what assimilate means. He’s a parrot.
The bottom line is the whitees are headed to the back of the line! Lol. Can’t work! They too purdy. Lol. Caint lead their home….their wife’s do, Ain’t strong or athletic to play a sport… why they dont like sports!, And are too small to keep their wives happy. No wonder they like trump. Lol.
Alberto jealous again. El Paso’s premier bigot and racist.
Madmike the thig with small hands. Lol. NO WONDER FLO LIKES BASKETBALL. Lol
You are so hopped up, you don’t make any sense. Doper!
RIP young people, despite the hate from the ditto- headed radical Right up in here. Always on the side of anyone in uniform be they right or wrong. Yes I’m calling out and faulting the US Border Patrol for this senseless high-speed.
Blame the coyote moron.
Screw you Alberto Velarde, racist ANTIFA supporter. Ridgemar section 8 housing unemployed criminal
The 7-George Floyds
BLM won’t take your cultural appropriation too lightly. I bet they could care less about Latinos and hate them. What an idiot!
Feo thinks being against Police brutality is Cultural Appropriation. Newsflash, genius! BLM movement is all races,not just a few Black radicals. What’s the matter? Fox News edited out all the protesters who weren’t Black? Come on man! I thought you were smarter than that.
You missed how BLM in Seattle at the CHAZ/CHOP deported a Latino? Even built walls. You are delusional Alberto as usual.
Must have been a Trump supporter!
A Trump supporter in Seattle, WA? What an idiot!
Nope. Just a another Alberto type. They kicked him out for trying to be black. Cultural appropriation. lmao.
In Feo’s mind listening to Rap music is Cultural Appropriation. Guess white people shouldn’t listen to Kendrick Lamar because he’ll sue for Cultural Appropriation. This is Crazy stuff!
Hey moron which one of those schizo personalities in your head is black? We know you have one that pretend he is white.
After all is said and done, may the seven RIP. Back in their country where they belong. Tough titty.
Nadodave, the US will pay the bill for the diseased. I hope their families get some sort of compensation.
