One man is dead after he was found in "heavy medical distress" by U.S. Border Patrol agents in South Texas on Thursday, officials say.
Surveillance footage pointed officers to a Toyota Tacoma with multiple people in the bed of the vehicle on Thursday in Hebbronville, according to border patrol officials.
Border Patrol tracked down the vehicle in a nearby town, but when they approached during a traffic stop, the individuals in the car began to flee.
All of the individuals except for one left the vehicle, and when officers approached they found a non-responsive man in medical distress, authorities said.
