Brownsville police said the individual, identified as Hernandez, complained of abdominal pain and requested to be transported to a hospital. Hernandez then jumped into the driver's seat of the ambulance and sped away.

Hernandez drove toward the U.S.-Mexico border, where he crashed into barriers before crossing into Matamoros.

Mexican authorities later found the ambulance abandoned near the San Joaquin Funeral Park.
