Ho-hum.

A pickup truck carrying 23 people veered off a Texas highway and crashed late Sunday, killing 14 and injuring 9 others.

The Ford F-250 Super Duty pickup was was traveling north on U.S. Highway 59 when it crashed into two large trees near Goliad, Texas, about 100 miles southeast of San Antonio, Texas Highway Patrol trooper Gerald Bryant told KTRK-TV.

Some of the victims were airlifted to hospitals in San Antonio and Corpus Christi. The cause of the crash remains under investigation, police said.

"In my 38 years as an officer, this is one of the worst fatalities I have been to," Bryant said. "I have never seen where we had that many in a vehicle."

The victims were crammed in the cab and bed of the pickup truck.

"Based on the mode of travel, the way that the people were in the vehicle, it's a high probability there were illegal immigrants traveling northbound on 59," Texas Dept. of Safety Lt. Glen Garrett told KIII-TV.

Maybe 14 is the "illegal dozen."

Where are the calls for cars and trucks to be outlawed?

Meanwhile....160 are killed, in (X marks the spot) by US drones. Where's the love and compassion for these folks?

Exactly.
Or maybe actually enforcing the laws would have kept these people at home............ but nothing to be gained by TPTB here, so let's just move along.
Vaya con dios.
