A human smuggling suspect was caught with two children in his car, including one in the trunk, during a dangerous pursuit in Texas this week, authorities say.
The disturbing incident unfolded on Wednesday in Webb County, just miles from the southern border.
Texas Department of Public Safety (TxDPS) troopers attempted to pull over a suspicious Dodge Charger when the driver began taking evasive action.

The suspect initially shook off a TxDPS tail by entering I-35 at perilous speed, but another trooper located the vehicle on a surface street and the chase continued.
The driver made series of reckless maneuvers on busy roads before a TxDPS trooper successfully performed a ‘PIT maneuver,’ neutralizing the Dodge.
A total of 10 passengers were pulled out of the vehicle — all illegal aliens from Mexico.
Crammed in the trunk were at least two people, including a child under the age of 10.
Another minor under 10 years old was discovered inside the passenger compartment.
The suspect, identified as Jaime Gonzalez of Laredo, was arrested and charged with eight counts of smuggling of persons with the likelihood of serious bodily injury or death, two counts of smuggling of persons under the age of 18, evading arrest with the likelihood of serious bodily injury or death, and reckless driving.
The illegals were all turned over to Border Patrol.
Dangerous pursuits unfold constantly along the U.S.-Mexico border.
