Illegal Immigrants Flee Car Crash

Group En Route To Chicago Later Taken Into Custody

A carload of six Mexican nationals rear-ended another vehicle Wednesday, causing a three-car accident.

Three men, a woman and a boy were passengers in a Chevrolet when it rear-ended another car and forced it into oncoming traffic, causing a head-on collision with a third car, police spokesman Bill Leonard said.

The driver, an undocumented immigrant, jumped into another vehicle of immigrants that was following the Chevrolet and drove off. The group was going to Chicago, Immigration and Naturalization Services spokesman Tony Rouco said.

The second vehicle, along with the driver and eight other immigrants, were later found at a hotel about 45 miles north of Craig in Baggs, Wyo.

No one was seriously injured in the crash.

The immigrants in the car were taken into INS custody. The immigrants at the hotel will also be taken into custody if they are undocumented, Rouco said.

No names were released.

Since last October, 10 undocumented immigrants have died en route in Colorado, Rouco said.
