The pickup had Texas license plates. The tractor-trailers and another car involved in the wreck appeared to have Mexican tags.

Well now, that's ironic.

The bridge is 3.2-miles long, has one southbound lane and three northbound lanes.

That’s because of all the crap that’s being built in Mexico and shipped into the US. There is also a lot of crazy bdriving on this bridge as frustrated drivers try to get to the head of the line to get across the border in the late afternoon.
