Smuggler swims back to Mexico after illegal immigrants bail out of a moving SUV during pursuit

A human smuggler led DPS Troopers on a high-speed pursuit in Webb County. During the pursuit, the driver allowed multiple illegal immigrants to bail out. At one point, the driver accelerated, causing one of the illegal immigrants to sustain head injuries.

The driver eventually drove into the Rio Grande River and evaded apprehension by swimming to Mexico. Troopers referred one illegal immigrant to US Border Patrol.
