GOLIAD, Texas (AP) — At least 11 people died Sunday and another 12 were injured after a pickup truck loaded with passengers left the highway and crashed into trees in rural South Texas, authorities said.

State troopers and Goliad County sheriff's investigators were investigating what prompted the single-vehicle crash and did not immediately know the names and ages of the victims. Gerald Bryant, a spokesman for the Texas Department of Public Safety, told The Associated Press they were various ages and that he personally saw two young children among the dead at the scene.

"This is the most people I've seen in any passenger vehicle, and I've been an officer for 38 years," Bryant said, referring to the chaotic scene.

The white 2000 Ford F-250 pickup was heading north on U.S. 59 on Sunday evening when it traveled off the right side of the highway near the unincorporated community of Berclair in Goliad County and struck two large trees, Bryant said. The 23 people were loaded inside both the truck's cab and bed.

Somehow I doubt this was a redneck.

Amazing the 'generic reporting'; albeit we get a hint below; that maybe an interpreter was necessary. . .(Not that we needed one.)

["It's unknown whether or not (the victims) were illegal, but it's possible," Bryant told the AP.]

Was Antonio López de Santa Anna on board? Were they headed to the Alamo? This inquiring mind wants to know.

No, Tony wasn't in the pickup and has long been pushing up daisies. How do I know? Funny you should ask. No lie and hand on Bible but great great gramps was one of the scouts who captured Santa Anna and brought him back to Sam Houston. Gramps wanted to shoot him the minute the guys ran up on him but the others wanted to take him back to camp to show him off.

Tony, he never had the suerte.

If only he had a couple of more pick'em-up trucks at San Jacinto, this Tejas boolshiite woulda never happened.

Who was on guard duty that day? I bet it was that Nacho, asleep again! Oh well, so it takes a leetle longer. We get Tejas it back.

Of course they needed an interpreter. Very few Texans speak Norwegian, Viking bastards were obviously on a lutefisk run, wearing cheap disguises to cast blame on an innocent ethnic group. Again!

Maybe if they had been stopped at the border by some deterrent, perhaps they’d be alive. I blame those who are opposed to sealing our borders.

Latest update:

14 dead after truck with immigrants crashes in US

A pickup truck overloaded with illegal immigrants veered off a highway and crashed into trees in rural Texas, killing at least 14 people and leaving nine injured, authorities said Monday.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents were looking into the human smuggling aspect of the Sunday’s crash...

ICE spokesman Greg Palmore said citizens of Mexico, Guatemala and Honduras were among the 11 men and three women who died.

Gerald Bryant, a spokesman for the Texas Department of Public Safety, said at least 23 passengers were crammed inside the truck’s cab and bed, including at least two young children he saw among the dead.

These crashes happen all the time. Here in central TX we had one, overloaded van wrecked, only one death but 7 different care flights to haul them for treatment, all on county dime. All were illegal!

Most un-Christian of me to make light of a tragedy like this, Cricket. But it is amazing that the KIA list is almost the same as Aurora's, and yet the incident is already on its way to being forgotten.

I am sorry. And I am sorrier that life is cheap in Aztlán.

Well; did not think of comments as making 'lite' of accident; but rather; it's reporting. And clearly; this devastation has NO political value; so; no surprises here. Have only to 'wait'/sarc for Obama to visit Chicago; and pay his respects. (Could be 'his' daughters; of course; on those streets.)

Obama always, brings it home. Just not from Mexico.
