An SUV packed with people and a semitruck towing two trailers collided in a rural California county near the Mexican border on Tuesday morning, leaving at least a dozen dead and others hospitalized, officials said.
The National Transportation Safety Board is set to launch its investigation Wednesday into a crash that killed 13 people and injured more than a dozen others in.
The 13 people killed when an SUV was struck by a semitruck in California's Imperial Valley are believed to be among dozens of undocumented migrants who entered the United States through a hole in the border fence with Mexico, the US Border Patrol said Wednesday.
