SAN DIEGO, CA : 2 dead, 6 injured in separate crashes fleeing Border Patrol agents near Otay Mesa Road and Sanyo Avenue on Tuesday, 19th February 2019

Two men were killed and a woman was critically injured Tuesday evening when their vehicle crashed into a semi truck and careened down an embankment while fleeing from a Border Patrol agent in San Diego, authorities said.

The crash happened just before 6:20 p.m. near Otay Mesa Road and Sanyo Avenue, according to the California Highway Patrol.

It was the second crash Tuesday evening involving Border Patrol agents chasing vehicles. The first happened about an hour earlier in Boulevard, when a minivan fleeing Border Patrol agents rolled over, injuring all five occupants.

The 23-year-old San Diego woman driving the van was taken into Border Patrol custody, as were the four Mexican men who were lying in the back passenger area without seat belts when the van struck a fence and a pole and then rolled, CHP Officer Travis Garrow said.
