Jeep Driven By Suspected Smugglers Gets Stuck Atop U.S.-Mexico Border Fence
A harebrained attempt by suspected smugglers to drive a Jeep Cherokee up and over a U.S.-Mexico border fence failed early Tuesday when the vehicle got stuck atop the 14-foot tall barrier.
As seen above, the teetering SUV was spotted by U.S. Border Patrol agents after it had been driven up a makeshift ramp, but could not complete the trip’s final leg into Arizona. When agents approached the vehicle, two individuals on the fence's Mexican side fled.
Investigators suspect that the Jeep likely contained narcotics, which were offloaded when the vehicle became stuck.
