A man was apprehended after he jumped out of a moving van while nine unauthorized immigrants were still inside.

Miguel Torres is accused of smuggling nine immigrants from Mexico into the US.

The incident happened on July 23 around 10:00 p.m. in Norias, Texas.

Border Patrol agents spotted the van “riding low” before pulling it over.

That’s when the driver veered back into traffic and jumped out of the van.

Torres was booked into the Cameron County jail on the human smuggling charge.

A preliminary hearing in the case is set for Wednesday, July 30th at 1:230 before Magistrate Judge Ronald Morgan. 

Torres is currently in custody of the US Marshals.
