Migrant Deaths Increasing Due To Vehicle Crashes

As detailed in a Dallas Morning News article, vehicle crashes are becoming a "steady source" of migrant deaths.

According to the article, stricter border enforcement is causing smugglers to take greater risks. One tactic is cramming many immigrants into a van or SUV, and driving over rougher terrain to cross the border. This puts the vehicle in danger of overturning, with resulting death or injury to the occupants. This week, an SUV overturned in Arizona, killing nine people and injuring a dozen more. There were 21 people in the vehicle.
