BORDER inspectors in the US found an undocumented Chinese immigrant wedged into the dashboard of a car crossing from Mexico, US authorities said today.
US Customs and Border Protection said inspectors found the 40-year-old man crammed into the dash of a Mercury Sable mid-size car during a routine inspection at the Calexico port of entry in southern California on Saturday.
"Inspectors referred the vehicle for secondary inspection after the driver gave inconsistent answers to their questions," said Vince Bond, the CBP spokesman in San Diego.
"They discovered a specially constructed compartment underneath the dashboard area of the car and officers using a mirror could see part of a man's foot exposed," he added.
Bond said inspectors ripped the dashboard open to release the unnamed Chinese man. He was subsequently arrested along with the driver, a 53-year-old US citizen.
