55 Illegals Who Didn't Make it to the Boycott

This kind of stuff happens all the time in San Diego:

A van packed with 55 people and equipped with specially-modified tires drove the wrong-way across the U.S.-Mexico border early Monday and struck an oncoming vehicle before coming to a halt a short time later on a major freeway, officials said.
There were no immediate reports of any injuries in what appeared to be the latest in a series of smuggling attempts by drivers who take enormous risks in vans crowded with illegal immigrants.

The blue Ford XLT 350 van drove north at 3 a.m. in the southbound lanes of the San Ysidro Port of Entry, which links Tijuana, Mexico with San Diego. The van passed over a spike strip but its tires had been filled with silicone and did not instantly shred, U.S Border Patrol officials said.

As it crossed into the United States, the van struck an oncoming vehicle heading south into Mexico. Early morning traffic was light the busy border crossing.

The van continued north on southbound Interstate 5, then merged north onto southbound Interstate 805, where the driver exited the freeway and looped back around to head south back toward Mexico.

"He may have been disoriented, I can't really tell why he did that," said Michael Bermudez, a spokesman for the U.S. Border Patrol.

Agents did not chase the van, which halted in the southbound lanes of I-805 after one of its tires eventually shredded.

There are a number of highways in the border area of San Diego County that you don't dare drive on in the middle of the night due to the possibility that you'll be hit by a smuggler van running in the wrong lanes with their lights off. It's happened several times and a number of people have been killed.

I can't image how they got 55 people into a 15 passenger van, but that's the nature of the smuggling business.
