The bodies of two individuals were recovered after a vehicle plunged into a canal in Edcouch, according to Texas Department of Public Safety spokesman Lt. Chris Olivarez.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection previously said the incident stemmed from a Friday morning law enforcement pursuit.

According to a statement released by RGV Sector Chief Border Patrol Agent Gloria Chavez, Border Patrol agents approached a vehicle on foot that was suspected of being involved in human smuggling. The vehicle had stopped at a flooded roadway in Edcouch following a Thursday thunderstorm that flooded many areas across the Rio Grande Valley.

As agents approached the vehicle, the driver attempted to cross the flooded road and plunged into a canal.

The five other occupants of the vehicle, including the driver, were found alive on Friday. The unidentified driver, a 26-year-old undocumented male from Mexico, has since been taken into custody, Olivarez added.

The driver will face federal criminal charges in connection with the drowning incident.
