Five people crossed the U.S.-Mexico border Monday evening. Snow and low temperatures took the lives of three of them. The other two were arrested.
Border Patrol agents were able to reach the victims about 5 p.m. Monday, about three hours after the group initially called for help, but by that time two of the women were already in grave condition and unresponsive, Border Patrol spokesman Agent Theron Francisco said in a statement.Unfortunately, rescue efforts for 3 of the 5 people were unsuccessful. The three remaining people on the mountain have died. Due to severe weather, recovery of the bodies must wait until tomorrow.
Border Patrol agents sent to the area found the two men who were able to walk out of the area on their own, Francisco said. The pair told the agents there were still three women awaiting rescue and “in desperate need of medical attention.”
