LAREDO — One woman died and at least 20 others were injured after a passenger van stuffed with up to 60 undocumented immigrants rolled over on a Zapata County road.
Exact numbers on how many passengers were crammed into the 1998 Chevrolet van varied. A Department of Public Safety report stated 21 people were in the cargo van, while a statement released by the Mexican Consulate in Laredo said 60 people were inside the van.
Inez Gomez, 23, was killed in the wreck. Her nationality was unknown.
The confusion stemmed in part from the chaotic scene Wednesday on FM 2687, about 12 miles east of U.S. 83, where ambulances, Border Patrol and sheriff's vehicles were all used to transport the injured to hospitals in Laredo, Rio Grande City and McAllen.
