EL CAJON Border Patrol spokesman Richard E. Smith says around 6 a.m.
Sunday, a van hit a guardrail in Alpine, about 30 miles east of San
Diego. The vehicle flipped over, but when authorities arrived, no
one was inside.
Witnesses reported seeing people running away. The agents
followed footprints into nearby hills where they found people
hiding in the brush.
Smith says four people were taken to the hospital with minor
injuries, and 14 others were taken to a Border Patrol station for
questioning.
