The conservationists/environmentalists should be up in arms over this one, but, since so many of them are left leaning and support illegal aliens in order to increase the Democrat voter base through entitlements…..
CORPUS CHRISTI — A Nueces County sheriff’s chase about midnight early Thursday morning ended with about a dozen undocumented immigrants scrambling through a fiery field while the driver and two occupants were caught, police said.
A deputy on patrol trailed a white 2004 Dodge 4-door pickup for about five miles from the western part of the county after the driver ran a red light at State Highway 286 and Farm-to-Market Road 43.
“He was alerted earlier in the evening by radio that a vehicle of that same description could be carrying undocumented aliens,†said Capt. Stan Repka, public affairs officer for the sheriff’s department.
The deputy tried to use emergency lights to stop the driver at the intersection of 286 and Saratoga Boulevard, but the driver fled west on Saratoga for about a mile before turning into a brushy field in the 500 block.
“The exhaust or catalytic converter on the car caught the brush on fire, and then the brush fire caught the car on fire,†said Battalion Chief Wayne Prall, with Corpus Christi Fire Department. It took four engine companies with about 18 firefighters about an hour to simmer the blaze that damaged about one acre, he said.
So now they are also putting the lives of fire fighters at risk. Great.
