EDINBURG, Texas – Rio Grande Valley Sector Border Patrol (RGV) agents encountered an injured woman alone on a ranch after the truck she was in crashed into a gas pipeline near Kingsville.

On Oct. 7, a Kingsville Border Patrol Station agents observed suspicious activity and attempted to conduct a vehicle stop on a black Chevrolet truck.

The driver of the truck or additional subjects were not located.
