Two suspected human smugglers led authorities on a 100-mph chase in Texas on Thursday before bailing out of their vehicle, with one allegedly carjacking a civilian at gunpoint, authorities said.<\/p>\n

Helicopter video from U.S. Customs and Border Protection’s Air and Marine Operations shows the high-speed pursuit unfolding along Interstate 10 in Fabens.<\/p>\n

Authorities are seen pursuing the suspected human smugglers before their vehicle was disabled and both occupants fled on foot.<\/p>\n

An official can be heard over radio communications saying the vehicle’s front right tire may have been damaged by a spike strip.<\/p>\n

Moments later, the vehicle slows down and two occupants jump out and run.<\/p>\n

“Bail out, bail out, bail out!” someone is heard shouting in the video.<\/p>\n

The two men are then seen running across the highway, with one quickly apprehended by a member of the Texas Department of Public Safety.<\/p>\n

The other suspect allegedly carjacked a civilian at gunpoint before he was also later taken into custody, authorities said.<\/p>\n

Authorities have not released information about how many people were allegedly being smuggled or their nationalities.<\/p>\n

“Outstanding coordination by Border Patrol, AMO, HSI and Texas DPS,” CBP Commissioner Rodney Scott posted on X alongside video of the pursuit.<\/p>\n

“Suspected human smugglers hit 100+ mph and bailed out when their vehicle was disabled,” Scott continued. “One then carjacked a civilian at gunpoint. Smugglers risk lives for profit. We will keep taking them down.”<\/p>\n

The incident took place near a Speedway gas station at around 9:16 a.m., according to KFOX14.<\/p>\n

The suspects are expected to face human smuggling and evading arrest or detention charges, the station reported.<\/p>\n
