The incident began when Border Patrol agents tried to stop the dump truck on Interstate 10, sheriff's officials said. The truck fled to Mexico in the Neely's Crossing area. The truck got stuck in the riverbed, and the driver took off running. Agents "started to retrieve the bundles (of marijuana) when the armed subjects appeared,"The Mexican drug cartel is growing so much pot in our national forests that they may be shipping it back to Mexico. It's difficult to tell if the truck was going north on I10, would it be able to turn around and head the other way on a freeway?

The Mexican drug cartel is growing so much pot in our national forests that they may be shipping it back to Mexico. It's difficult to tell if the truck was going north on I10, would it be able to turn around and head the other way on a freeway?You may be correct. I assumed that the truck was heading into the U.S.
I thought the reason for growing the pot on our side of the border was to make it easier to distribute in this country and to avoid having to make any border crossing excursions.
I'll see if I can find an article with some more details in it.
