Two human smugglers, both under the age of 16, crashed during a high-speed vehicle pursuit in Frio County, Texas.

A 15-year-old smuggler led troopers on a car chase Wednesday but due to wet road conditions, the driver lost control of the vehicle.

Inside the vehicle was a 12-year-old passenger, who is a reported runaway and involved in human smuggling. There was also an illegal immigrant that was found inside the vehicle and transported to the hospital with injuries.

The vehicle the smugglers were riding in was reported stolen and the teenage driver was arrested.

The driver has been charged with human smuggling causing bodily injury, evading arrest causing bodily injury, drug possession, and unauthorized use of a motor vehicle.
