Kinney County Sheriff Brad Coe put out an official statement on the tragic incident on Monday. “On June 21, 2019, at approximately 10:45 PM, Kinney County Sheriff’s Deputies were involved in a vehicle pursuit involving a possible alien smuggling load. The vehicle, a Ford F-250, was seen traveling north on Ranch Road 674, leading out of Brackettville, Texas. As the deputy attempted to stop the vehicle, the driver failed to stop and a pursuit ensued. And after several miles the driver lost control of the vehicle resulting in a rollover. Six of the vehicle’s 11 occupants were transported to area hospitals with serious injuries. One of the subjects later died at the hospital as a result of their injuries. At this time the case is still under investigation.”
Sheriff Coe has stated that up to now six arrests have been made in connection with this case.
