SUV in crash where 13 died came through hole in border fence

Thirteen people killed in one of the deadliest US border crashes on record entered the US through this hole cut into southern California’s border fence with Mexico, according to the US Border Patrol (US Customs and Border Protection/AP)

The 13 people killed in one of the deadliest highway crashes involving migrants sneaking into the US had entered California through a section of border fence with Mexico that was cut away, apparently by smugglers, immigration officials have said.

Surveillance video showed a Ford Expedition and Chevrolet Suburban drive through the opening early on Tuesday, said Gregory Bovino, the Border Patrol’s El Centro sector chief.
