Default Now we know: Yes, you CAN fit 25 people in a Ford Expedition

I guess it helps if they're illegals, of course.

HOLTVILLE, Calif. (AP) — Thirteen people were killed Tuesday when an SUV carrying 25 people and a big rig collided on a Southern California highway near the U.S.-Mexico border, authorities said.

Twelve people were found dead when first responders reached the highway, which winds through fields in the agricultural southeastern corner of California. Another person died at a hospital, California Highway Patrol Chief Omar Watson said.

Authorities do not yet know if the driver of the 1997 Ford Expedition, who died in the crash, had stopped at a stop sign before crossing into the path of the big rig around 6:15 a.m., Watson said. The big rig hit the left side of the SUV, which appeared to have been pushed off the road that’s about 100 miles (160 kilometers) east of San Diego.

Watson described a grisly scene outside Holtville, a rural town about 11 miles (18 kilometers) north of the border with farms that grow vegetables and alfalfa for cattle feed. Officers arrived to find that some people had been ejected from the SUV onto the ground. Some of the passengers had pulled themselves from the wreckage, and others who were injured were wandering around.

Talk about packing in a car... Maybe the guy driving could have seen the truck if there weren't 12 people in frt seat...

This story is national news.

“Taco Terror in California! An SUV full of undocumented workers was turned to hot sauce today on a Southern California highway. Chips were provided at the scene by Taco Bell.”

Saw the picture. Ford caught a direct broadside. Flattened to the centerline. Probably everybody that died was on the drivers side.

I don't care how mean it sounds, but I'm glad only the lawbreakers will killed. Years ago a reporter I had contact with had both her children crushed to death when a minitruck with 12 illegals in it lost control and flipped over onto them as they waited o cross the street. She was the first local reporter on the scene. She was never OK again after that day. This vermin break the law coming into the country, hurt, maim and kill citizens and then get off scot free. Hopefully their families in Mexico will sue Biden for opening the border up to let them in.
