  • A human smuggler, who caused a head on crash last week in Texas, killing 8 migrants and an American couple, was identified as a 17-year-old Honduran teen

  • The incident occurred at about 6:30 AM on US Highway 57 near the farming community of Batesville

  • The driver, a suspected human smuggler from Honduras, allegedly tried to outrun deputies from the Zavala County Sheriff's Office
