GOLIAD, Texas (AP) - Investigators say a single-vehicle wreck in
rural South Texas has left 13 people dead and 10 hurt.
At least 23 people were crammed into the bed and cab of the
pickup truck when it veered off a highway and crashed into trees
Sunday evening in Berclair, about 100 miles southeast of San
Antonio.
Border Patrol agents are assisting the Department of Public Safety in the investigation into the crash in Goliad County. It was not clear if those involved were illegal immigrants.
The Department of Public Safety said early Monday that two
injured people died overnight at hospitals in Corpus Christi and
San Antonio.
DPS dispatcher Cynthia Duffield  says investigators
are not sure if the driver survived. She had no information on
names and ages of the victims.
