The said migrants who were struck by the vehicle were burrowed in the tall grasses in the area. CBP noted that the migrant who died was a male Honduran.

Meanwhile, details regarding the identity of the other injured migrant were not yet released by the authorities.

The injured migrant directed the authorities to the Honduran, Fox News reported. The emergency medical team from the BPA immediately reported to the scene and attended to the needs of the migrants.

CBP mentioned that the Honduran died on the scene due to the injuries his body has taken from the incident. Details on the injuries were not furthered by the agency. Meanwhile, the other migrant that has sustained injuries was transported to a hospital in Harlingen, Texas, Caller Times reported.

The said migrant was transported through an air ambulance and was soon discharged by the hospital later in the same day. Medical personnel determined that the migrant did not suffer any serious injuries from the tragic incident.

Initial investigation revealed that the border patrol agents on the vehicle were not aware that the vehicle ran over individuals until they were notified by a group of migrants.

Discovery of Migrants Struck by Vehicle on Texas Border

The tragic incident sparked when border patrol agents were patrolling an area that is already known for smuggling activities. The agents were tailing fresh footprints whom they believed belonged to the migrants that are passing through the area.

As the border patrol agents on foot and the vehicle continued to search and tail the tracks they have discovered, two groups of migrants emerged from different groves and were taken under the authority's custody.

The third group of migrants that were burrowed in the tall grasses in the area soon emerged and notified the agents that there were individuals who were ran over by a border patrol vehicle. The injured man was discovered by the agents and directed them to the Honduras national who died on the scene.

CBP has encountered a total of 550,410 migrants as of March 2021. Among these numbers, 261,114 are from Mexico and 98,554 are from Honduras.

Fox News noted that immigrants who wish to cross the border illegally are still required to remain in Mexico or their homeland as they wait for the asylum court proceedings under Title 42 during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Meanwhile, the tragic incident on the Texas border was reported to the Department and Homeland Security Office of Inspector General. CBP's Office of Professional Responsibility and Kennedy County Sherriff Office are both reviewing the incident.
