Tragedy at the border: Two soldiers lost in accident

• Two soldiers died in a car accident in Santa Teresa, New Mexico.
• The accident occurred during a mission related to securing the U.S.-Mexico border.
• A third soldier is in critical but stable condition.

Two soldiers participating in the mission to secure the U.S.-Mexico border died in a tragic car accident. Their civilian vehicle fell into a 10-metre ditch and overturned on a narrow road in Santa Teresa, New Mexico, reports "New York Post".

The soldiers were part of a mission to support the Trump administration in securing the southern border. The accident occurred when they attempted to overtake another vehicle on a two-lane road.

A border patrol agent arrived at the scene, attempting to rescue the soldiers. "That area out there is treacherous," said one of the informants. He added that there was blood everywhere. The soldiers were transported to the hospital, but they could not be saved. The third soldier involved in the accident is in critical but stable condition.

It would be a horrible place to go off the road because the canyon is right off the shoulder. It has concrete tunnels that run underneath the highway and we have sensors there because illegal aliens hide under it and then get picked up by a load vehicle - another informant tells "New York Post".

U.S. Northern Command has not yet released the names of the victims, has notified families and is conducting an investigation into the accident.

The Trump administration sent thousands of additional soldiers to the southern border to curb the influx of illegal migrants and drugs, adds "New York Post".

Thanks to these efforts, the number of illegal border crossings has dropped to the lowest level in history. As a result, the number of illegal border crossings has dropped to the lowest level in history.
